M/S Pappu Sweets And Biscuits vs Commissioner Of Trade Tax U.P. Lucknow on 6 October, 1998
8. Our attention has also been drawn to another case under Section 4-A
which came up before this Court in Pappu Sweets and Biscuits and Another v.
Commissioner of Trade Tax, U.P. Lucknow, [1998] 7 S.C.C. 228. Far from
helping the appellant, the ruling can be used against the appellant as it
is held that the object of the relevant Exemption Notification and the
intention of the State Government in granting exemption are to be taken
into account for interpreting the word "sweetmeat" and the words "condi-
tions of like nature".
Commissioner Of Income Tax, Amritsar vs Straw Board Manufacturing Co. Ltd on 28 April, 1989
In Commissioner of Income-tax, Amritsar v. Straw Board Manufac-turing
Co. Ltd., [1989] Supp. 2 S.C.C. 523, this Court held that in taxing
statutes, provision for concessional rate of tax should be liberally con-
strued.
Bajaj Tempo Ltd. Bombay vs Commissioner Of Income Tax,Bombay ... on 24 April, 1992
12. We find that the object of granting exemption from payment of sales
tax has always been for encouraging capital investment and estab-lishment
of industrial units for the purpose of increasing production of goods and
promoting the development of industry in the State. If the test laid down
in Bajaj Tempo Ltd. case (supra) is applied, there is no doubt whatever
that the exemption granted to the respondent from 9.8.85 when it fulfilled
all the prescribed conditions will not cease to operate just because the
capital investment exceeded the limit of Rs. 3 lakhs on account of the
respondent becoming the owner of land and building to which the unit was
shifted. If the construction sought to be placed by the appellant is
accepted, the very purpose and object of the grant of exemption will be
defeated. After all, the respondent had only shifted the unit to its own
premises which made it much more convenient and easier for the respon-dent
to carry on the production of the goods undisturbed by the vagaries of the
lessor and without any necessity to spend a part of its income on rent. It
is not the case of the appellant that there was any mala fides on the part
of the respondent in obtaining exemption in the first instance as a unit
with a capital investment below Rs. 3 lakhs and increasing the capital
investment subsequently to an amount exceeding Rs. 3 lakhs with a view to
defeat the provisions of any of the relevant statutes. The bona fides of
the respondent have never been questioned by the appellant.
State Level Committee & Anr vs M/S Morgardshammar India Ltd on 10 November, 1995
In support of his conten-tion that
provision for exemption from payment of tax should be strictly construed,
reliance is placed upon the judgment of this Court in State Level Committee
and Another v. Morgardshummar India Ltd., [19961 1 S.C.C. 108.
Section 21 in The U.P. General Clauses Act, 1904 [Entire Act]
Novopan India Ltd., Hyderabad vs Collector Of Central Excise And ... on 14 September, 1994
A Bench of
two Judges of this Court relied upon an earlier decision of Three Judge
Bench in Novopan India Ltd. v. Collector of Central Excise and Customs,
[1994] Supp. 3 S.C.C. 606 and held that an exception or an exempting
provision in a taxing statute should be construed strictly and it is not
open to the Court to ignore the conditions prescribed in Section 4-A of the
Act and extend the exemption. Though the decision pertains to exemption
under Section 4-A of the Act, the facts of the case are entirely different
and the ruling has to be understood in the context thereof.
Divisional Level Committee And Anr. vs Sahu Stone Crushing Industries on 21 March, 1996
9. Learned counsel for the appellant relied upon the decision of this
Court in Divisional Level Committee and Another v. Sahu Stone Crushing
Industries, [1998] 8 S.C.C. 435. In that case, it is held that the
provision in Section 4-A(5) c requiring registration of the unit under the
Factories Act if the capital investment exceeds Rs. 3 lakhs is mandatory.
