For example, an essential commodity is at once a supply and a service. Rushing food supplies to a nation in hunger is a composite operation of supplies and services essential to the life of the community and the order is not bad because it telescopes both, Jagdish Prasad v.

Supplies
Supplies, 'supplies' in the context of s. 3(1)(a)(iii) of the MISA, 1971 means the supply of essential commodities or foodstuffs in a wholesome form. It does not mean the supply of their adulterated substitute. This seems to be the correct line of approach, but it does not stop at maintenance of 'supplies' only. It extends further to 'services', also. One of the primary necessaries of life is food, one of the elementary obligations of a welfare State is to ensure food to its citizens. The concepts of 'supplies' and 'services' intermingle in the discharge of that obligation by the State.

Water supply and sanitary fittings
Water supply and sanitary fittings, the expression 'sanitary fittings' has received judicial interpreta-tion by the Supreme Court in State of Uttar Pradesh v. Indian Hume Pipe Ltd., [39 STC 355: (1977) 2 SCC 724: 1977 SCC (Tax) 335], where it has been laid down that 'sanitary fittings' according to the popular sense of the term mean such pipes or materials as are used in lavatories, urinals or bathrooms of private houses or public buildings.
