Commissioner of Commercial Taxes for the Years from 1978-79 to 1985-86
and 1987-88 seeking to revise the orders of Sales Tax Appellate
Tribunal / Appellate Deputy Commissioner, allowing exemption on stock
transfers made to the Depots for the above years in the appeals filed
by the Company. The Sales Tax Department also filed Tax Revision Cases
for the years from 1978-79 to 1980-81, which were set-aside by the High
Court.

the question of Revisional Jurisdiction, to a larger Bench of A.P. High
Court, order was passed in October 2001 in favour of the Company,
quashing the Revisional Notices issued by the Commissioner of
Commercial Taxes.

Petitions before the Supreme Court for the above years, which have been
admitted. The Apex Court however did not grant the departments request
for stay of operation of High Courts order.
