It was submitted that machines like lathe machines and<\/p>\n<p>drilling machines are not capable of performing any functions without the subject<\/p>\n<p>tools. Before us, it was further submitted that the subject tools are rendered useless<\/p>\n<p>after they are used for certain number of times. It is also pointed out that in the past,<\/p>\n<p>prior to Assessment Year 2000-2001, the Department has accepted that the test of<\/p>\n<p>whether the subject tools constituted consumables was applied by the Department as<\/p>\n<p>the relevant test in interpreting Entry 52 of the First Schedule to the Karnataka Tax<\/p>\n<p>on Entry of Goods Act, 1979.\n<\/p>\n<p>          On the other hand, it is argued on behalf of the Department that the subject<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                            1<\/span><br \/>\ntools are part of the machine and that, in any event, they are accessories. It is also<\/p>\n<p>contended that the test of an item being consumable is not relevant in interpreting the<\/p>\n<p>said Entry 52.\n<\/p>\n<p>          We quote herein-below Entry 52 of the First Schedule to the 1979 Act:<\/p>\n<p>                    &#8220;52. Machinery (all kinds) and parts and accessories<br \/>\n          thereof but excluding agricultural machinery.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>          On going through the pleadings, particularly at pages 51, 59 and 105 of the<\/p>\n<p>S.L.P. paper book, we find that all throughout it was argued before the Authorities<\/p>\n<p>below, in this case, that without subject tools the lathe and drilling machines are non-<\/p>\n<p>functional.\n<\/p>\n<p>          As repeatedly stated in our earlier judgments, in matters of interpretation<\/p>\n<p>of taxing laws, this Court     must first find out whether a proper foundation is<\/p>\n<p>established by the assessee\/Department before the adjudicating authority. This test<\/p>\n<p>has not been complied with by the assessee in the present case. For example, assessee<\/p>\n<p>has stated at page 59 of the S.L.P. paper book that &#8220;the subject tools cannot be<\/p>\n<p>termed as parts of the machine since the machine can very well function without the<\/p>\n<p>said tools, though the machine may not be in a position to carry out the specific jobs<\/p>\n<p>for which these tools would be necessary. It is further stated that the subject tools are<\/p>\n<p>necessary for a machine to carry out specific jobs but that fact would not make them<\/p>\n<p>parts of the machine.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>          As stated, what was argued before us was that lathe and drilling machines<\/p>\n<p>are non-functional without subject tools whereas in the above paras before the<\/p>\n<p>Authorities below, the assessee submitted that lathe and drilling machines can<\/p>\n<p>function without the subject tools. We may also note that the assessee has not led<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                            2<\/span><br \/>\nevidence before the adjudicating authority to show whether the lathe and drilling<\/p>\n<p>machines were non-functional in the absence of the subject tools.<\/p>\n<p>         For the aforestated reasons, we find no infirmity in the impugned judgment<\/p>\n<p>of the High Court and the Tribunal and, accordingly, we dismiss this Civil Appeal<\/p>\n<p>which, as stated above, relates to Assessment Year 2000-2001.<\/p>\n<p>         Be that as it may, we are of the view that it would be open to the assessee<\/p>\n<p>herein to raise the contention as to whether the subject tools are consumables and not<\/p>\n<p>accessories\/parts of machine in an appropriate case(s). The reason being that<\/p>\n<p>Authorities need to decide as to what distinguishes a consumable from an accessory.<\/p>\n<p>If the assessee raises such a contention as is raised before us in this Appeal, the<\/p>\n<p>authority shall consider the contention in accordance with law, uninfluenced by the<\/p>\n<p>observations made in the impugned judgment of the High Court and the Tribunal in<\/p>\n<p>this case. We also make it clear that in such an event, it would be open to the assessee<\/p>\n<p>herein and to the Department to raise all such contentions which are necessary for<\/p>\n<p>deciding this dispute, including the contentions mentioned hereinabove.<\/p>\n<p>         Subject to above, Civil Appeal is dismissed.
