Commissioner, Sales Tax vs Pali Ram Laxmi Narain on 7 January, 1980
6. The question for determination is as to whether the Nagar Motha Oil, Peppermint Oil and Raunsa Oil being essential oils are covered under the entry "Oil of all kinds". It has been argued by the learned Counsel for the assessee that Nagar Motha Oil, Peppermint Oil and Raunsa Oil are extracted from roots, herbs and plants and.are essential oils, hence the same is taxable as Oil of all kinds. Learned Counsel for the assessee has further submitted that in the assessee's case in second appeal No. 691 of 1983, Commissioner of Sales Tax v. Ram Narain Pratap Narain (assessee) for the assessment year 1975-76 decided on 14.04.1983, the Kanpur Bench of the Tribunal, after relying on the case of R. Oil and Chemicals, Bareilly v. Commissioner of Sales Tax reported in 1983 STI (Alld. H.C.) page 295 has held that Raunsa and Menthol Oils are manufactured from Rausa and Mentha grass and they are covered under the general entry "Oil of all kinds". There is nothing on record to show that the said decision of the Tribunal is either set aside or the operation of the order is stayed
