Issues: Whether fibre glass fabrics and fibre glass sleeving (unvarnished) were covered by entry 12 of Schedule A to the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959 as man-made fabrics, or fell under the residuary entry 102 of Part II of Schedule C to the Act.
Analysis: Entry 12 of Schedule A granted exemption only to goods described as man-made fabrics as defined from time to time in the First Schedule to the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. Item 22 of that Schedule defined man-made fabrics but expressly excluded glass fabrics and fabrics falling under items 19 or 21. Since glass fabric was specifically outside the definition, fibre glass fabrics could not be treated as man-made fabrics for the purpose of entry 12. The incorporated definition controlled the scope of the sales tax entry, and the exclusion in Explanation II was ative of the classification.
Conclusion: Fibre glass fabrics and fibre glass sleeving (unvarnished) did not fall within entry 12 of Schedule A and were taxable under the residuary entry 102 of Part II of Schedule C. The answer was against the assessee and in favour of the Revenue.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a sales tax exemption entry adopts a tariff definition by reference, express exclusions in the incorporated definition govern classification, and goods specifically excluded from that definition cannot claim exemption under the corresponding sales tax entry.
