1970 (11) TMI 73 - SUPREME COURT
Whether the assessee is entitled, upon the facts found by the Board of Revenue with regard to these categories of sales, to exemption from liability under the Bihar Sales Tax Act because of the provision of article 286(1)(a) of the Constitution as it stood at the relevant date read with the explanation to that article?
With regard to the sales which took place in the period from 7th September, 1955, to 31st March, 1956, whether the assessee is entitled, upon the facts found by the Board of Revenue with regard to these categories of sales, to exemption from liability under the Bihar Sales Tax Act on the ground that the sales took place in the course of inter-State trade or commerce under article 286(2) of the Constitution as it stood at the the relevant period?
Held that:- Appeal dismissed. As under the terms of the contracts of sale, the purchasers were required to remove the goods from the State of Bihar to other States. Hence the sales with which we are concerned in this case must be held to be sales in the course of inter-State trade or commerce.

1970 (11) TMI 57 - IN THE CHANCERY DIVISION
Winding up – Declaration of solvency ... ... ... ... ..... 1879 11 Ch. D. 140. In the circumstances, however, I do not think I need pursue these submissions, beyond saying that the argument that I have indicated seems to me to have considerable force. As regards the former director, for whom Mr. Lightman appeared, Mr. de Courcy accepted that the success of the former liquidator also involved the success of the former director the first head of claim against the former director is A declaration that the declarations of solvency made by her were in error and of no effect. Mr. de Courcy accepts that whatever may happen in any other proceedings, he cannot sensibly proceed in this action against the former director on the two remaining heads of claim against her, and he therefore accepts that, given my decision on the former liquidator s motion, the former director s motion should succeed on the same grounds. Accordingly the former director s motion also succeeds, with costs. Solicitors Herbert Smith and Co. Ashurst, Morris, Crisp and Co.

1970 (11) TMI 56 - HIGH COURT OF MADRAS
Charges – Registration of ... ... ... ... ..... a temporary nature, it would undoubtedly be an improvement so as to make it a part of the hypotheca. The intention of the parties in making such a clear and unambiguous stipulation was on account of the fact that at the time of the execution of the mortgage there was only an unfinished superstructure and the parties could not have comprehended what additions and improvements were going to be made to the incomplete superstructure, for the completion of which a sum of Rs. 3,50,000 was borrowed. As I have already pointed out, the nature of the constructions which the official liquidator wants to be excluded from the hypotheca cannot be said to be temporary, but are definitely additions, improvements and accessions falling squarely within the terms of the mortgage deed. These items cannot, therefore, be excluded from the hypotheca to be sold for the purpose of realising the mortgage amount. In the result, the application fails and is dismissed. There will be no order as to costs.

1970 (11) TMI 42 - HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE ANDERA PRADESH HYDRABAD
Manufacturer ... ... ... ... ..... definition of manufacture in the Section is to be following effect. 2(f) manufacture includes any process incidental or ancillary to the completion of a manufactured product and the word manufacture shall be construed accordingly and shall include not only a person who employs hired labour in production or manufacture of excisable goods, but also any person who engages in their production or manufacture on his own account. The definition is comprehensive enough to include the petitioner within its ambit. It cannot be denied that the petitioner was engaged in the production of M.F. rounds and as such cannot accept the liability sought to be imposed on him. We are not concerned here with the contractual relation between the petitioner and the 5th respondent nor it is necessary to express any opinion on that aspect. 11. In the view we have taken the petitioner is not entitled to the relief asked for. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed with costs. Advocate s fee Rs. 100.

1970 (11) TMI 41 - HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
Penalty and confiscation ... ... ... ... ..... h material can reasonably give rise to an inference that there has been substitution. The provisions in the Central Excise Rules enabling penalty being imposed and confiscation being ordered are in the nature of penal provisions and the authorities exercising those powers enabling them to impose the penalties must have uncontrovertible material before them to show that the ingredients of those rules are made out. I also think that the burden of establishing these ingredients is on the department and that no assumption can be made. Similar cases have come up before this Court and the same view has been taken. I may refer to an order of reference to a Division Bench in C.P. Nos. 2566, 2577, 2813 and 2891 of 1962 as well as the decision of the Division Bench in those cases. 4. In the light of the above, I set aside Exts. P9 and P12 orders and allow this petition. The fine of Rs. 50/- paid by the petitioner will be refunded to the petitioner. I make no direction regarding costs.
