1985 (9) TMI 321 - SC - VAT and Sales TaxWhether a provision directing the trader to "cough up" collections wrongly made by him from the purchasers otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Act and to make over the same to the Government as also the further provisions obliging the State to refund the amounts so collected to the person or persons from whom these had been collected would fall within the incidental and ancillary powers of the State Legislature while enacting a taxing statute under entry 54 of List II of the Seventh Schedule? Held that:- Appeal allowed. In the instant case, before us, there is not merely a provision for making over such collections by the trader to the State but also a provision for refunding it by the State to the persons from whom such collections have been made. The impugned provisions will have, therefore, to be upheld as falling within the doctrine of ancillary or incidental legislative powers.
