State Of Jharkhand & Ors vs Ambay Cements & Anr on 17 November, 2004
10. This Court at this juncture reminds itself of the fact that
the M.P. Foreign Liquor Rules, 1996 and the M.P. Excise Act
are meant to ensure maximum revenue to the State and
therefore every clause prescribing exemption is to be strictly
construed so that the same is not misused by anyone claiming
exemption. Reference may be had to the decisions of the Apex
Court rendered in State of Jharkhand & Others v. Ambay
Cements & Another : (2005) 1 SCC 368 (Para 24) and
Topman Exports v. Commissioner of Income Tax,
Mumbai : (2012) 3 SCC 593 (Para 39).
