Commissioner, Commercial Tax, Sector 13, Ghaziabad, appellate order thereof dated November 20, 2010 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Grade 2 (Appeal) 4, Commercial Tax, Ghaziabad and the order of Tribunal thereto dated December 16, 2010. The revisionist claims that he is a dealer engaged in the business of polythene bags, spices and disposable goods from a place B-4, Block-B, Balram Nagar, Jain Mandir Road, Lord, Ghaziabad. On his application for registration, a certificate of registration dated July 12, 2011 under the U. P. VAT Act as well as the Central Sales Tax Act was issued.
