Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. East Hope Town Co. Ltd.

Court: Uttaranchal

Decided on: Jul-19-2005

Reported in: [2005]142STC319(Uttra)

Prafulla C. Pant, J.1. Heard learned Standing Counsel. The following question, of law is involved in this revision :Whether, on facts and circumstances of the case, the Sales Tax Tribunal, was legally justified in rejecting the order passed under Section 10-B of the U.P. Sales Tax Act, 1948 and holding that 'processed tea' is agricultural product 2. From the record, it appears that the assessee is self producing tea company. It is argued on behalf of the revisionist, by the learned Standing Counsel that since the leaves of tea undergo grading and roasting, before sale, as such they are manufactured product and cannot be said to be an agricultural produce. If that is accepted, then assessee becomes a dealer with the definition of the U.P. Sales Tax Act, 1948. However, in Dehradun Tea Company v. Commissioner of Sales Tax 1980 UPTC 459, it has been held that, that the green leaves without grading and processing, has no market value, as unless it is graded and processed, the green leaves g...
