The applicant on reading the above provisions, contends that the contractor who has been awarded the right to collect the various fees instituted by the applicant is a Public servant and they cannot be termed as business entities. 8.3 In the case at hand, from the terms of the tender documents and the contract agreements furnished before us, we find that the contractors are vested with the right to collect the fees fixed by the applicant for various activities through a tender process.

The contractor then enters into an agreement with the applicant.

In the case of agent- principal relationship in a transaction, the entire control over the transactions are well with the principal and not in the hands of agents and the agents merely act as intermediary between the customer and principal for certain commission which is not the case in hand. The tender is floated to enable the business entities to participate for a fee, and the person who bids a high price for such tender, i.e., collection of fees fixed by the applicant for the various public amenities is awarded the contract for a period of three years. The applicant, in the case at hand, supplies the right of collection of fees fixed by them for such amenities to the successful contractor and receives a fixed consideration, which is independent of the fees collected by the said contractor from the said amenity/activity and it is definitely a supply of service. For these reasons, the .....

..... on questions specified in sub-section (2) of section 97 or sub-section (I) of section 100. in relation to the supply of goods or services or both being undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by the applicant: Thus, a person can seek ruling only on the supplies being undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by him and cannot seek ruling on the supplies being made or proposed to be made by any other person. Moreover, the ruling pronounced by this authority is binding only on applicant and Jurisdictional Officer and not on any other person.

While the Road cutting is a onetime supply, the rental charges are periodical. Thus, it is evident that both these supplies are not supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business and therefore the same is not a Composite supply . 9.5 In view of the above, we hold that the supply of allowing the road cut for laying the OFC and allowing the space alongside the road for the OFC lines are not `composite supply in as much as these two supplies are not made in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business. 10.1 The Q.No. 4 raised before us is in respect of S.No. 13- renting of building-Residential purpose.
