The facts falling in narrow compass are that and which are<\/p>\n<p>    common to all these Applications, though they relate to different<\/p>\n<p>    assessment years, are that the Respondent in these Applications,<\/p>\n<p>    M\/s.Ghatge Patil Industries Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as &#8220;the<\/p>\n<p>    Company&#8221;) is carrying on business of manufacture and sale of cast<\/p>\n<p>    iron castings, engineering goods, automobiles parts at Uchagaon,<\/p>\n<p>    Taluka Karveer, District Kolhapur. The Company is also registered<\/p>\n<p>    under the State as well as the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956<\/p>\n<p>    (hereinafter referred to as &#8220;the Central Act&#8221;). The Company received<\/p>\n<p>    an order from M\/s Bharat Earth Movers Limited of Kolar Gold Field, a<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                   ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:05:54 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    Government of India undertaking, which in turn is selling the<\/p>\n<p>    bulldozers and earth movers. M\/s Bharat Earth Movers Limited had<\/p>\n<p>    placed an order with the Company for supply of clutch assembly and<\/p>\n<p>    various other assemblies.     They had agreed to supply certain<\/p>\n<p>    imported parts, such as discs and bearings imported by them and<\/p>\n<p>    requested the assessee to insert the same in the assembly during the<\/p>\n<p>    process of manufacture. These parts were referred as &#8220;assistance<\/p>\n<p>    material&#8221; which were supplied free of cost.    The Commissioner of<\/p>\n<p>    Central Excise, Pune-II, came to the opinion that insertion in the<\/p>\n<p>    assembly by the assessee company before delivery of the assembly<\/p>\n<p>    should form part of assessment value. Thus he concluded that there<\/p>\n<p>    was evasion of excise duty and accordingly issued a show cause<\/p>\n<p>    notice on 2nd December 1997 for the purpose of levy of excise duty.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The assessee denied its liability which ultimately resulted in the<\/p>\n<p>    passing of the order of assessment for the period 1994-95<\/p>\n<p>    determining a sum of Rs.3,57,919\/- as refundable on merits but<\/p>\n<p>    simultaneously raising demand under      the Central Act demanding<\/p>\n<p>    Rs.84,94,093\/- by way of tax including interest under Section 36(3)(b)<\/p>\n<p>    of the Bombay Act read with Section 9(2) of the Central Act.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                    ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:05:54 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    Aggrieved from this order, Appeals were preferred before the Deputy<\/p>\n<p>    Commissioner of Sales Tax, Pune, which Appellate Authority<\/p>\n<p>    remanded the matter. In the meanwhile, order for the year 1995-96<\/p>\n<p>    demanding a sum of Rs.86,52,176\/- on the same basis was passed.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Aggrieved from the order dated 30thy January 1999, an Appeal was<\/p>\n<p>    filed by the assessee which also ultimately was remanded by the<\/p>\n<p>    Appellate Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.<\/p>\n<p>               In the meantime, the Assessing Officer issued a show<\/p>\n<p>    cause notice dated 12th October 2000 for the period 1994-95 calling<\/p>\n<p>    upon the assessee to show cause why the value of assistance<\/p>\n<p>    material received from the Company should not be included in the<\/p>\n<p>    final sale amount along with the amount of additional excise duty<\/p>\n<p>    payable on the said amount and taxed at 10 per cent as declaration in<\/p>\n<p>    Form &#8220;C&#8221; does not include the cost of said material. The said notice<\/p>\n<p>    also contained a proposal to charge penalty under Section 36(2)(c)<\/p>\n<p>    and interest under Section 36(3)(d) of the Bombay Act. This notice<\/p>\n<p>    was replied to and the Senior Assistant Commissioner of Sales Tax<\/p>\n<p>    passed an order of reassessment on 13th December 2000 by rejecting<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                   ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:05:54 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    all the submissions and the Appeals were dismissed. Against the said<\/p>\n<p>    order, Second Appeals were also filed by the assessee.                 These<\/p>\n<p>    Appeals relating to assessbility to tax of the assistance material<\/p>\n<p>    supplied free of cost by M\/s Bharat Earth Movers Limited to the<\/p>\n<p>    assessee company was decided in favour of the assessee in Second<\/p>\n<p>    Appeal Nos.320 to 327 of 2002 and it was held as under :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;1. Second Appeal Nos. 320 to 327 of 2002 in the<br \/>\n             case of M\/s Ghatge Patil Industries Limited are<br \/>\n             allowed. The orders passed by the first appellate<\/p>\n<p>             authority are hereby set aside. It is held that the<br \/>\n             return of assistance material supplied free of cost<br \/>\n             by BEML to the appellant M\/s Ghatge Patil<br \/>\n             Industries Limited does not amount to sale. The<br \/>\n             matters are remanded to the assessing authority to<\/p>\n<p>             recompute the liability as to the levy of tax as well<\/p>\n<p>             as consequential interest and penalty.           The<br \/>\n             assessing authority is directed to refund the<br \/>\n             amount, if any, to the appellant as per the<br \/>\n             provisions of law.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    4.         Aggrieved by the above order, the Revenue Department,<\/p>\n<p>    Commissioner of Sales Tax filed Applications under Section 61(1) of<\/p>\n<p>    the Bombay Act requiring the Tribunal to submit the Statement of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                    ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:05:54 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    Case and refer the question of law to the High Court in terms of the<\/p>\n<p>    said provisions. This request, in all the Appeals, was rejected by the<\/p>\n<p>    Maharashtra Sales Tax Tribunal, Mumbai vide its order dated 28th<\/p>\n<p>    September 2007 which has been impugned in the present Appeals.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Aggrieved by the said order, the Commissioner of Sales Tax, Mumbai<\/p>\n<p>    has filed the present Sales Tax Application Nos.31, 32 and 34 of 2008<\/p>\n<p>    under Section 61(2) of the Bombay Act for a direction to the Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>    for submission of statement of case and reference of question of law.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.         The short question that was contended was that case of<\/p>\n<p>    the assessee is not covered by the judgment in <a href=\"\/doc\/1425329\/\">State of Madras vs M\/s<\/p>\n<p>    Gannon Dunkerley &amp; Company (Madras) Limited,<\/a> 9 STC 353  and the<\/p>\n<p>    findings recorded by the Tribunal are erroneous and the Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>    should have referred the question of law framed in paragraph 7 of the<\/p>\n<p>    Application before this Court.   The assistance material which was<\/p>\n<p>    supplied by M\/s Bharat Earth Movers Limited to the assessee<\/p>\n<p>    company according to the assessee was not liable to tax as they<\/p>\n<p>    were supplied free of cost and the finished goods qua the company<\/p>\n<p>    were not open to liability. The contention as already noticed by the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                    ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:05:54 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax was that the raw material used in<\/p>\n<p>    manufacture of the finished goods was liable to be considered for the<\/p>\n<p>    entire value of the finished goods and tax ought to have been<\/p>\n<p>    determined on that basis.      Reliance have been placed on various<\/p>\n<p>    judgments.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6.             Having heard the learned Counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>    parties and keeping in view the various judgments relied upon by the<\/p>\n<p>    respective Counsel, we are of the considered view that the<\/p>\n<p>    Application filed under Section 61(2) of the Bombay Sales Tax Act,<\/p>\n<p>    1959 by the Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra, deserves to be<\/p>\n<p>    allowed.        Consequently, we direct the Maharashtra Sales Tax<\/p>\n<p>    Tribunal to submit the statement of case and refer the question of law<\/p>\n<p>    in the above Sales Tax Applications to this Court expeditiously.\n<\/p>\n<p>    7.
