No.8 of 1993                                            2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>film was treated as a photographic film as defined in entry 6 of the<\/p>\n<p>Schedule `A&#8217; of the Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948 (for short, `the<\/p>\n<p>Act&#8217;). Accordingly, tax at the rate of 10% was levied and additional<\/p>\n<p>demand of Rs.20,359\/- was created by the Assessing Authority vide its<\/p>\n<p>order dated 11.08.1986. The appeal filed before the Deputy Excise and<\/p>\n<p>Tax Commissioner (A) did not succeed which resulted in filing of<\/p>\n<p>another appeal by the dealer before the Tribunal. The dealer insisted<\/p>\n<p>that photographic art film is not an item covered under Schedule `A&#8217; of<\/p>\n<p>the Act and in fact is an item of general category exigible to tax at<\/p>\n<p>general rate instead of special higher rate applicable to Schedule `A&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>items. After hearing the arguments, the Tribunal concluded that the<\/p>\n<p>graphic art films were liable to tax @ 10% as per entry 6 of Schedule<\/p>\n<p>`A&#8217; of the Act. The Tribunal rejected the argument that graphic art film<\/p>\n<p>was used as a printing material for printing newspaper, books etc. The<\/p>\n<p>film is much slower and its thickness is more than the photographic<\/p>\n<p>films because these films are not used by the photographers and are<\/p>\n<p>different from the photographic films. The further argument was also<\/p>\n<p>rejected that the photo process is different from photographic process.<\/p>\n<p>         In order to appreciate the controversy, it would be necessary<\/p>\n<p>to notice entry 6 of Schedule `A&#8217; of the Act, which are as under: &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>         &#8220;Entry No.6 &#8211; Photographic and other cameras and enlargers,<br \/>\n         lenses, films and plates, papers and cloth and other parts and<br \/>\n         accessories required for use therewith.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>         A perusal of entry 6 of Schedule `A&#8217; makes it patent that it<\/p>\n<p>uses expression &#8220;photographic and other cameras and enlargers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>There is indication available that photographic film and graphic film are<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> G.S.T.R. No.8 of 1993                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>basically different items not merely from the point of view of its usage<\/p>\n<p>but also from other point of view. Before the Tribunal, the assessee<\/p>\n<p>has placed reliance on the focal encyclopedia of Photography Vol.II<\/p>\n<p>published by the Focal Press, London and New York 1974 Edition.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting from page 1181 of the book, the argument have been raised<\/p>\n<p>as under: &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>         &#8220;The printing block used in photo mechanical reproduction<br \/>\n         process is made from the negative which is exposed in<br \/>\n         process cameras. The process camera is a permanent price<br \/>\n         of equipment which is belted down to the floor of the room or<br \/>\n         carried on runners which are belted to the floor. The camera<br \/>\n         consists essentially of two vertical frames mounted on<br \/>\n         horizental rails.   One frame carries the lens panel and the<br \/>\n         other plate holder and the process screen.          This photo<br \/>\n         process camera is a sort of copier used mainly for the purpose<br \/>\n         of printing when the camera is not covered under the<br \/>\n         photographic then its film too cannot be covered in entry No.6<br \/>\n         of Schedule `A&#8217;. The West Bengal Taxation Tribunal has held<br \/>\n         this view in the case of (82-STC-292) Commissioner,<br \/>\n         Commercial Taxes, West Bengal vs. Monotype Corporation<br \/>\n         Ltd.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>         It is thus evident that the graphic art films are those films on<\/p>\n<p>which positives and negatives are produced.         Therefore, it is not<\/p>\n<p>possible to conclude by any stretch of imagination that graphic art films<\/p>\n<p>would be covered by the expression photographic and other cameras<\/p>\n<p>and enlargers, lenses, films and plates. So according to entry No. 6<\/p>\n<p>one item is covered by the expression &#8216;photographic and other cameras<\/p>\n<p>and enlargers&#8217; then after use of another item lenses\/films and<\/p>\n<p>plates\/papers and clothes have been used. The graphic art films might<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> G.S.T.R. No.8 of 1993                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>fall within the mischief of entry No. 6. Had it been graphic and films<\/p>\n<p>and plates or papers and cloth?      Therefore, it is not possible to<\/p>\n<p>conclude that the graphic art films would be covered by entry No. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the answer to the question posed has to be against the<\/p>\n<p>Revenue and in favour of the assessee.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n\n                                                     ( M.M.KUMAR )\n                                                           JUDGE\n\n\n\nJanuary 29, 2009                                     ( H.S.BHALLA )\n\nvinod                                                      JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court M\/S Calcutta Engineering &#8230; vs The Punjab State on 29 January, 2009 G.S.T.R.
