Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed multiple Writ Petitions challenging the imposition of sales tax on bread, rusk, and bun under the A.P. Sales Tax Act, 1957, holding that the differentiation in taxation between bread and biscuits does not violate Article 14 or Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court found no merit in the petitioners' arguments regarding the classification of goods and the imposition of multiple taxes, reiterating that economic wisdom in taxation is within the legislature's domain. Consequently, all petitions were dismissed without costs.
