Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the assessment of tax under the Tamilnadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, confirming that the appellant sold complete wet grinders, not merely parts, as established in S. Durai v. Joint Commissioner of Commercial Taxes. The Court found that the imposition of penalty was unwarranted since the appellant had disclosed the turnover in his accounts, leading to the penalty being set aside. The judgment clarifies the distinction between parts and complete commodities for tax purposes.
