Issues: Whether the adoption of a 50:50 ratio between taxable first sales and exempted second sales for determining escaped turnover was justified on the facts of the case.
Analysis: The assessee was found to be only a dealer and not a manufacturer, and it was also not shown that the goods had been brought from outside the State. In those circumstances, it could not be assumed that the entire escaped turnover represented first sales. Since the assessee had not furnished the details of the dealers from whom the goods were purchased, the authorities were justified in making a reasonable estimate and in treating 50% of the escaped turnover as relating to second sales. The estimation adopted by the appellate authorities was supported by the factual matrix and was not shown to be arbitrary.
Conclusion: The 50:50 apportionment was upheld and the challenge by the Revenue failed.
Final Conclusion: The escaped turnover assessment and the penalty as modified by the appellate authorities were sustained, and the revision was dismissed.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a dealer is not a manufacturer and the record does not show purchase from outside the State, a reasonable apportionment may be made in estimating escaped turnover, and the entire suppressed turnover need not be treated as first sales.
