Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by Tata Motors Ltd. against the Central Sales Tax Appellate Authority's order, which recognized the inter-state nature of sales to the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation but failed to direct the adjustment of tax paid against the tax owed to Jharkhand. The court emphasized the need for consequential orders in tax matters to ensure compliance with inter-state sales tax provisions. Ultimately, the court ruled in favor of Tata Motors, directing the Appellate Authority to issue the necessary adjustments.
