Section 7 in The Kerala General Sales Tax Act, 1963 [Entire Act]
V.S. Jyothish Kumar And Ors. vs State Of Kerala And Ors. on 12 July, 1994
unamended rate of 120% of the previous year's tax for the
whole year], is without any pith or substance, in so far as the
amendment was brought into effect from 23.07.2001 and hence
the right of the assessee to satisfy tax at the unamended
compounded rate could only be upto 23.07.2001 and never
beyond. It was in the said circumstance that reference was
made and reliance was placed on, to the verdict passed by a
Division Bench of this Court in V.S. Jyothish Kumar and
others vs. State of Kerala and others [(1994) 95 STC 527]
and that of a learned Single Judge in Prakash Jewellery and
another vs. State of Kerala [(2004) 12 KTR 543 (Ker.); that
once a compounding application was filed and accepted, the
assessee could not turn back and was liable to pay tax at the
compounded rate.

Bhima Jewellery vs Assistant Commissioner (Assessment) ... on 11 April, 2002
during the middle of the year, the assessee is not extended the
said benefit and as such, it is quite reciprocal, that once the
application for compounding is submitted well within time, ie. on
or before the 1st of May of the relevant year, the subsequent
amendment enhancing the rate of tax would have no application
in the case of the appellant/assessee. Yet another point asserted
by the learned counsel is that, the assessing authority had levied
the AST (Additional Sales Tax), which was forbidden by virtue of
the law declared by the Supreme Court in Bhima Jewellery vs.
Asst.Commissioner (Assessment), Kerala and another
[(2014) (22)KTR 175(SC)] to the effect that no AST is liable
to be fixed or realised in the case of dealers who opt for
compounding. Similar contentions are made with reference to the
appellant/assessee in W.A No.1207 of 2007 as well, in relation
to sustainability of the deletion of the relevant proviso under
Section 7(1)(a) of the KGST Act, whereby the benefit earlier
given [enabling the assessee to satisfy tax in respect of the newly
opened branch at the rate of 25% of the Main Branch/premises

P.K. Damodaran Unni vs State Of Kerala And Anr. on 21 June, 1982
01.07.2003, as the Addl. Sales Tax was brought into force only
from 01.07.2003. The appellate authority vide Annexure B has
granted relief in respect of levy of interest as well, in terms of the
verdict passed by this Court in P.K. Damodaran vs. State of
Kerala [(2004) 138 STC 442 (Ker.)].
Section 5 in The Kerala General Sales Tax Act, 1963 [Entire Act]
Commissioner Of Sales Tax,Uttar ... vs The Modi Sugar Mills Ltd on 31 October, 1960
Reference is also made to the verdict passed by a
Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in Commissioner of
Sales Tax vs. Modi Sugar Mills Ltd. [(1961)12 STC 182
(SC)], which involved enhancement of the rate of tax during the
middle of the year. It is pointed out by the learned counsel that,
once an option is given, if any exemption comes to be granted
W.A.Nos.1207 OF 2007, 1644 OF 2009
& STR. No.136 OF 2008.
