Bhawani<\/p>\n<p>       Ferrous Private Limited, seeking a direction to the Railways represented by<\/p>\n<p>       respondent nos.10 to 14 to immediately issue the statutory form, being Form-IXC<\/p>\n<p>       in connection with purchase of iron and steel scrap of rails from South Eastern and<\/p>\n<p>       Eastern Railways on the ground that the petitioner although had deposited the<\/p>\n<p>       amount of sales tax with the South Eastern and Eastern Railways, they failed to<\/p>\n<p>       deposit the amount paid by way of sales tax with the Commercial Taxes<\/p>\n<p>       Department, Jharkhand, due to which the Commercial Taxes Department,<\/p>\n<p>       Jharkhand, had refused to issue Form-IXC. This form was essential for the<\/p>\n<p>       petitioner to explain its liability as to what were the goods on which the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>       was not liable to pay further sales tax.\n<\/p>\n<p>                      The petitioner came up with the case that it had deposited the<\/p>\n<p>       required amount of sales tax way back in the year 2004-05 and yet the<\/p>\n<p>       Commercial Taxes Department had not issued Form-IXC, as a result of which the<\/p>\n<p>       petitioner could have been saddled with the liability to pay further sales tax for the<\/p>\n<p>       goods, for which sales tax had already been paid. This obviously prompted the<\/p>\n<p>       petitioner to file this writ petition, in which show cause notice was issued to the<\/p>\n<p>       respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>                      Having heard the counsel for the parties in the light of the facts<\/p>\n<p>       explained and the information, which was furnished, it could be noticed that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Commercial     Taxes Department could not issue Form-IXC for although           the<\/p>\n<p>respondent-South Eastern Railways had received the amount towards sales tax, it<\/p>\n<p>had failed to transfer the same in the account of the Commercial Taxes<\/p>\n<p>Department. Thus, it is clear to us that the South Eastern Railways retained the<\/p>\n<p>amount paid to it by the petitioner towards sales tax and although it should have<\/p>\n<p>transferred the deposited amount to the Commercial Taxes Department, it failed<\/p>\n<p>to do so.\n<\/p>\n<p>              Learned counsel for the South Eastern Railways, however, had an<\/p>\n<p>explanation to offer with regard to non-transfer of the amount towards sales tax<\/p>\n<p>with the Commercial Taxes Department and it was submitted that it is the<\/p>\n<p>Commercial Taxes Department, which had been refusing to accept the amount<\/p>\n<p>towards sales tax and they were not responsible in any way for non-issuance of<\/p>\n<p>From-IXC by the Commercial Taxes Department. However, it is now informed that<\/p>\n<p>the Commercial Taxes Department is ready to accept the amount paid to the<\/p>\n<p>South Eastern Railways by way of sales tax and issue Form-IXC.<\/p>\n<p>              The story narrated    herein indicates that there had been some<\/p>\n<p>confrontation between the South Eastern Railways and the Commercial Taxes<\/p>\n<p>Department with regard to transfer of the amount which the petitioner had paid.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we see no justification as to why the petitioner should suffer in that process<\/p>\n<p>and therefore, we direct the Commercial Taxes Department to accept the amount<\/p>\n<p>of sales tax, which had been deposited by the petitioner to the South Eastern<\/p>\n<p>Railways, and thereafter the Commercial Taxes Department shall issue Form-<\/p>\n<p>IXC to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>              We, however, record that if there be any dispute between the South<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Railways and the Commercial Taxes Department with regard to delay in<\/p>\n<p>transfer of the amount towards sales tax to the Commercial Taxes Department<\/p>\n<p>and for that reason, if any penalty is imposed on the petitioner, that would be a<\/p>\n<p>separate cause of action to be adjudicated         in the event of initiation of a<\/p>\n<p>proceeding by the affected party     and we express no opinion on its merit or<\/p>\n<p>otherwise on the same.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>             In so far as this petition is concerned, the petitioner had a just<\/p>\n<p>cause to move this Court for issuance of Form-IXC, as it is stated that he had<\/p>\n<p>already paid the amount of sales tax on the goods which it had purchased and<\/p>\n<p>also deposited the same with the South Eastern Railways. The writ petition, under<\/p>\n<p>the circumstance, is allowed and disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>             However, the counsel for the petitioner vehemently submitted that<\/p>\n<p>this is a fit case where cost also should have been awarded to the petitioner, but<\/p>\n<p>as it is still a disputed question as to whether the South Eastern Railways or the<\/p>\n<p>Commercial Taxes Department is at fault for non-deposit\/or acceptance of the<\/p>\n<p>amount to the Commercial Taxes Department, it is not possible to impose cost at<\/p>\n<p>this stage. Hence, the contention for awarding cost is rejected.<\/p>\n<p>                                             (Gyan Sudha Misra.C.J.)<\/p>\n<p>                                                 (D.K.Sinha.,J.)<\/p>\n<p>dey\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court M\/S.Bhawani Ferrous Pvt.Ltd. vs State Of Jharkhand &amp; Ors on 11 December, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P(T) No. 6124 OF 2007 M\/s.
