State Of Andhra Pradesh & Anr vs M/S Concap Capacitors,Balanagar, ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that 'Capacitors' qualify as 'electronic goods' under the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957 and the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956, entitling manufacturers and dealers to a concessional tax rate. The Court emphasized that the specific mention of 'Capacitors' in government orders mandated the Revenue to grant the concessional rate, rejecting the Tribunal's reliance on the operating principle of the goods. The appeal by the State of Andhra Pradesh was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling in favor of the assessees.
