Ext.P2 is a<\/p>\n<p>proceeding of the third respondent Intelligence Officer by which<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner was visited with penalty in a sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.52,10,532\/= under Section 45A of the KGST Act. Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>carried the matter in Revision before the second respondent<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Commissioner who rejected the Revision Petition by<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P3 order.     In further Revision, the first respondent<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner of Commercial Taxes found that the contentions<\/p>\n<p>are without any basis and dismissed the Revision Petition.<\/p>\n<p>     2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>     Petitioner is an assessee under the KGST Act.            He is<\/p>\n<p>having his place of business at Panachamood, the border area of<\/p>\n<p>the State. He has been purchasing rubber sheets and effecting<\/p>\n<p>resale within the State. According to the petitioner, all the<\/p>\n<p>consignments were supported by Form 25 Declaration, the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.15706\/08 T                   2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>rubber sheets being taxable at the point of last purchase in the<\/p>\n<p>State. It is stated that the purchasers of the petitioner had given<\/p>\n<p>Delivery Notes in respect of the purchases made by them.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner has produced Ext.P1 series as Form 25 Declarations<\/p>\n<p>given by the various traders. The third respondent initiated an<\/p>\n<p>enquiry. It is stated that the third respondent held that the<\/p>\n<p>Registration Number of the goods vehicles were found to be<\/p>\n<p>bogus, and that the traders who have made entries in their Books<\/p>\n<p>of Accounts to show that they have received the goods, have<\/p>\n<p>made the entries without actually receiving the same. There was<\/p>\n<p>no actual purchase and the dealers connived with the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>in issuing Form No.25 declaration. It is also found that for the<\/p>\n<p>year 2002 &#8211; 2003 there was suppression of taxable turnover by<\/p>\n<p>showing as non-taxable turnover in the monthly and annual<\/p>\n<p>returns filed. The maximum penalty was imposed.<\/p>\n<p>      3. I heard Shri N. Krishna Prasad, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.             Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner would contend that the penalty orders<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.15706\/08 T                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>are unsustainable. According to him, there is violation of the<\/p>\n<p>principles of natural justice. The petitioner ought to have been<\/p>\n<p>permitted to cross-examine the other dealers, it is submitted. It<\/p>\n<p>is also contended that the petitioner should have been permitted<\/p>\n<p>to verify the Delivery Notes with the check post Declarations so<\/p>\n<p>that the allegation that the goods were not transported in lorries<\/p>\n<p>and    whether    the     vehicle  numbers     corresponded     to<\/p>\n<p>Scooters\/Motor Cycles\/Cars was correct or not.        Per contra,<\/p>\n<p>learned Government Pleader would point out that this is a case<\/p>\n<p>where the vehicle numbers entered in the Register maintained in<\/p>\n<p>the check post would categorically show that the claim of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner can only be false. The vehicle numbers are alleged to<\/p>\n<p>be lorries used for transporting huge quantities of rubber. When<\/p>\n<p>the vehicle numbers were actually cross-checked with the Motor<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles Department, it was found that they were found to be<\/p>\n<p>Hero Honda Motor Cycle, Suzuki Motor Cycle, Maruthi Zen<\/p>\n<p>Car, Bajaj Sunny Motor Cycle, Hindustan Ambassador Car and<\/p>\n<p>Bajaj Chetak Scooter.      That is to say, there was no actual<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.15706\/08 T                  4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>transport of rubber sheets and those dealers are purported to<\/p>\n<p>issue Form 25 Declarations to the petitioner and the Authorities<\/p>\n<p>have found that it revealed that the entries were made to show<\/p>\n<p>that they have received the goods without actually receiving the<\/p>\n<p>same. This is a case where the correctness or the falsity of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s case can be clinchingly decided on the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>three materials, ie. the Delivery Notes, the Check Post<\/p>\n<p>Declarations and the Vehicle Numbers as contained in these two<\/p>\n<p>documents, and the result of the cross-checking of the type of<\/p>\n<p>the vehicles with the Motor Vehicles Department on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>these two incontrovertible material.        It is clear that the<\/p>\n<p>concurrent findings entered by the three statutory authorities are<\/p>\n<p>borne out by the records to the effect that there was no transport<\/p>\n<p>of the goods to the alleged purchasers from the petitioner who<\/p>\n<p>had also proceeded to provide Form 25 Declarations to make it<\/p>\n<p>appear that they had effected the alleged purchases within the<\/p>\n<p>State. Learned counsel for the petitioner was also permitted to<\/p>\n<p>go through the records. The finding of the Authorities that the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.15706\/08 T                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner had sought to make it appear that there were purchases<\/p>\n<p>from him within the State, making them last purchases and the<\/p>\n<p>Form 25 Declarations were also purported to be produced in this<\/p>\n<p>regard, when in point of truth, there was absolutely no transfer<\/p>\n<p>of goods to the alleged purchasers, is supported by the<\/p>\n<p>incontrovertible nature of the documents which are also made<\/p>\n<p>available to this Court. In the light of this, I do not see any<\/p>\n<p>reason why any aid should be extended to the petitioner and the<\/p>\n<p>Writ Petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                             Sd\/=<br \/>\n                                     K.
