A. NAGARJU BROS. VISAKHAPATNAM vs THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH

The Supreme Court ruled that 'V.I.P.' suitcases are classified as plastic articles under Entry 113 of Schedule-I to the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, thus taxable at the first point of sale. The Court emphasized that the nature of the product, being made predominantly of plastic through injection-moulding, aligns with the definition of plastic articles. The Court overturned the lower authorities' decisions, affirming that the appellant's sales were not subject to multi-point tax under Section 5(1) of the Act.
