KUMAR, J.\n<\/pre>\n
              This appeal filed under Section 68 of the Punjab Value<\/p>\n
Added Tax Act, 2005 (for brevity, ‘the VAT Act’) challenges order<\/p>\n
dated 17.11.2008 passed by the Value Added Tax Tribunal, Punjab,<\/p>\n
Chandigarh (for brevity, ‘the Tribunal’) in Appeal No. 511 of 2005-06,<\/p>\n
in respect of Assessment Year 1993-94.\n<\/p>\n
2.            Brief facts necessary for disposal of the controversy raised<\/p>\n
in the instant appeal are that the dealer-appellant is engaged in the<\/p>\n
manufacturing of bus bodies on the chassis as per design, specifications<\/p>\n
and seating capacity supplied by its customers. It has been claimed that
\n VATAP No. 26 of 2009                                                  2<\/span>
\nthe dealer-appellant neither making bodies for sale nor keeps the same<\/p>\n
in stock. It also undertook the repair work and resale of iron and steel.<\/p>\n
3.           On 16.9.1998, a surprise checking was conducted by the<\/p>\n
officers of the revenue on the premises of the dealer-appellant.            A<\/p>\n
detailed show cause notice, dated 8.10.1998, was issued by the<\/p>\n
Assessing Authority directing the dealer-appellant to produce requisite<\/p>\n
documents such as cash book, ledger, purchase vouchers, balance sheet<\/p>\n
with profit and loss account, bill books, trading account etc. and<\/p>\n
purchase orders for the years 1993-94 to 1997-98. These proceedings<\/p>\n
eventually culminated into passing of an assessment order dated<\/p>\n
27.7.1999 (A-2) in respect of Assessment Year 1993-94. The Assessing<\/p>\n
Authority raised an additional demand of Rs. 25,13,809\/- under the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948 (for brevity,<\/p>\n
‘PGST Act’). Against the order dated 27.7.1999, the dealer-appellant<\/p>\n
preferred an appeal under Section 20(5) of the PGST Act. The Deputy<\/p>\n
Excise and Taxation Commissioner (Appeals), Jalandhar Division,<\/p>\n
Jalandhar (DETC), vide order dated 21.9.1999 directed the dealer-<\/p>\n
appellant to deposit Rs. 17,00,000\/- by 14.10.1999 and to produce the<\/p>\n
Treasury receipt on 15.10.1999 before him. Against the said order, the<\/p>\n
dealer-appellant filed an appeal before the Tribunal, which directed him<\/p>\n
to deposit Rs. 1,00,000\/- by 15.5.2000 and to appear before the DETC.<\/p>\n
The dealer-appellant could not deposit the requisite amount and filed an<\/p>\n
application for extension of time for deposit of the amount.           The<\/p>\n
Tribunal extended the time upto 1.1.2001 and directed the dealer-<\/p>\n
appellant to appear before the Appellate Authority on 8.10.2001. The<\/p>\n
amount was deposited and the Appellate Authority remanded the matter<\/p>\n
to the Assessing Authority to afford an opportunity to the dealer-
\n VATAP No. 26 of 2009                                                  3<\/span>
\nappellant to produce evidence and to pass fresh assessment order, vide<\/p>\n
order dated 28.1.2002 (A-3).\n<\/p>\n
4.           On 18.9.2002, the Assessing Authority again passed an<\/p>\n
assessment order. This time no demand under the PGST Act was raised<\/p>\n
but a demand of Rs. 5,70,080\/- under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956<\/p>\n
(for brevity, ‘CST Act’) was raised (A-4). A sum of Rs. 4,68,458\/- as<\/p>\n
penalty and interest under Section 10(6) and 11-D read with Section 9 of<\/p>\n
the CST Act, was also imposed. The dealer-appellant filed two appeals<\/p>\n
one under Section 20(10)(a) of the PGST and the other under Section 9<\/p>\n
(2) of the CST Act read with Section 20(1)(a) of the PGST Act. On<\/p>\n
11.1.2005 (A-4\/A), the Appellate Authority again remanded the matter<\/p>\n
back to the Assessing Authority for passing a speaking order after<\/p>\n
verifying the facts as per the directions given in the earlier remand order<\/p>\n
dated 28.1.2002.\n<\/p>\n
5.           On 28.3.2005, the Assessing Authority again passed fresh<\/p>\n
assessment orders under the PGST Act and determined the gross sales of<\/p>\n
the dealer-appellant at Rs. 2,16,66,610\/-. After placing reliance on ‘D’<\/p>\n
Forms, the Assessing Authority came to the conclusion that there was<\/p>\n
sale of motor vehicle bodies and the transactions were not of work<\/p>\n
contract as claimed by the dealer-appellant. It was further held that the<\/p>\n
sales were completed within the State and, thus, liable to sales tax under<\/p>\n
PGST Act. Accordingly, demand of Rs. 6,92,988\/- towards tax was<\/p>\n
raised and penalty of Rs. 5,00,000\/- under Section 10(7) of the Act was<\/p>\n
imposed (A-5). The appeal preferred by the dealer-appellant against<\/p>\n
order dated 28.3.2005, was dismissed by the Appellate Authority vide<\/p>\n
order dated 27.12.2005 (A-6)
\n VATAP No. 26 of 2009                                                  4<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
6.           Against the order dated 27.12.2005 (A-6), the dealer-<\/p>\n
appellant preferred further appeal before the Tribunal along with an<\/p>\n
application for entertaining the appeal without prior payment of<\/p>\n
demand. The Tribunal vide order dated 17.11.2008 disposed of the<\/p>\n
appeal holding the dealer-appellant liable to pay the tax due as shown in<\/p>\n
the order dated 28.3.2005 passed by the Assessing Authority. However,<\/p>\n
it has set aside the penalty of Rs. 5,00,000\/- under Section 10(7) of the<\/p>\n
Act (A-9).\n<\/p>\n
7.           At the hearing, Mr. K.L. Goyal, learned senior counsel for<\/p>\n
the dealer-appellant has raised the following two questions of law for<\/p>\n
determination of this Court:-\n<\/p>\n
             1.    Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the<\/p>\n
                   case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the<\/p>\n
                   erection of body on the chassis would amount to sale,<\/p>\n
                   contrary to the judgment of Hon’ble the Supreme<\/p>\n
                   Court in 38 STC 177?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             2.    Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the<\/p>\n
                   case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that there<\/p>\n
                   would be no effect with regard to tax liability of the<\/p>\n
                   dealer even if the transaction is held to be inter state<\/p>\n
                   sale?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
8.           The first question of law does not survive as it has already<\/p>\n
been answered against the dealer-appellant by Hon’ble the Supreme<\/p>\n
Court in the case of Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Mysore v.<\/p>\n
M.G. Brothers, [1975] 35 STC 24. Confronted with the aforesaid<\/p>\n
situation, Mr. K.L. Goyal, learned senior counsel could not point out
\n VATAP No. 26 of 2009                                                  5<\/span>
\nany distinguishing feature in the case in hand. Accordingly, the first<\/p>\n
question is answered against the dealer-appellant.<\/p>\n
9.           In respect of the second question, Mr. Goyal has argued<\/p>\n
that once it is certain that the goods were to move outside the State of<\/p>\n
Punjab then the transaction is required to be considered as inter state<\/p>\n
sale, which would not be assessable to sales tax. In support of his<\/p>\n
submission he has placed reliance on a Division Bench judgment of this<\/p>\n
Court in the case of State of Punjab v. Himachal Government<\/p>\n
Timber Depot,<\/a> [1985] 58 STC 265 and argued that according to clause<\/p>\n
3 of the agreement dated 1.12.1994 (A-1), the Haryana Roadways has<\/p>\n
undertaken to pay CST in addition to fabrication charges.              The<\/p>\n
submission appears to be that once it is clear between the parties that the<\/p>\n
transaction is inter state, no tax under the PGST would be leviable. On<\/p>\n
a query by the Court, learned counsel has not disputed that as far as the<\/p>\n
dealer-appellant is concerned, it has to pay 4% tax either under the<\/p>\n
PGST or under the CST.\n<\/p>\n
10.          We have thoughtfully considered the submissions of the<\/p>\n
learned counsel.     There are categorical findings recorded by the<\/p>\n
Tribunal that the agreement dated 1.12.1994 (A-1) stipulated fabrication<\/p>\n
of bus bodies on the chassis which were supplied by the Haryana<\/p>\n
Roadways to the dealer-appellant. A fixed amount of price was to be<\/p>\n
realised for each of the bus body to be fabricated on the chassis and no<\/p>\n
material for fabrication of bus body was to be supplied by the Haryana<\/p>\n
Roadways. Accordingly, the Tribunal on facts has concluded that there<\/p>\n
is no other possible construction except to infer that there was sale<\/p>\n
within the State of Punjab, which was liable to tax especially when the<\/p>\n
dealer-appellant had obtained ‘D’ Forms from Haryana Roadways as is
\n VATAP No. 26 of 2009                                                  6<\/span>
\nmandatory in case of sale made to Government department which is<\/p>\n
chargeable to tax at lower rate.\n<\/p>\n
11.          On the issue of inter state sale, the Tribunal has opined that<\/p>\n
even if the contention raised by the dealer-appellant is accepted and it<\/p>\n
was treated as an inter state sale on account of movement of goods from<\/p>\n
Punjab to Haryana, still the fact remains that the tax was assessable @<\/p>\n
4%, which has been charged by the respondent State. Accordingly, the<\/p>\n
Tribunal has concluded that no useful purpose would be served by<\/p>\n
remanding the matter for fresh assessment, especially when the dealer-<\/p>\n
appellant did not show the transaction to be inter state sale. Therefore,<\/p>\n
we are of the view that there would be no tax effect on the dealer-<\/p>\n
appellant in the facts and circumstances of the present case.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, while leaving the question of law open, we dismiss the<\/p>\n
appeal.\n<\/p>\n
12.          No other issue has been raised.\n<\/p>\n
13.          As a sequel to the aforesaid discussion, the appeal fails and<\/p>\n
the same is dismissed.<\/p>\n
