2000 (2) TMI 760 - SC - VAT and Sales TaxWhether the refill of a ball point pen fall within entry 135 of the First Schedule to the Kerala General Sales Tax Act, 1963? Held that:- Appeal allowed. As immediately that there is no evidence on the record before us as to how a refill is regarded by the public or in commercial parlance, but we have used ball point pens for long enough to be able to give an authoritative opinion. As we see it, the ball point refill is the substitute for the ink that is filled from time to time in a fountain pen and it provides the ball or nib thereof. While the refill can write, it is not intended to be used, and cannot conveniently be used, for that purpose without being first inserted in the ball point pen. We do not think, therefore, that the High Court was right in overturning the view taken by the Tribunal that the refill fell outside the scope of the said entry.
