State Of Orissa vs Ramnarayan Sitaram on 29 August, 1987
The decision in S. J. C. No. 99 of 1980 [State of Orissa v. Orissa Small Industries Corporation [1987] 67 STC 262 (Orissa)] is not in any way affected by non-consideration of the provisions of the sub-rules. The provisions in the Rules cannot override the provisions in the Act. Accordingly, the question No. 1 is answered against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. The Tribunal is correct in its conclusion.
