Issues: Whether stampings and laminations are electrical goods falling within entry 38 of the First Schedule to the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957, or whether they are to be treated as general goods taxable under section 5 of the Act.
Analysis: The goods in question were found to be used only as raw material in the manufacture or repair of electrical motors and transformers. They did not retain the character of finished electrical goods or of replaceable component parts in their own right. The expression in entry 38 covering electrical goods, instruments, apparatus and appliances, followed by specified instances under the phrase "that is to say", was read as applying only to goods of the same nature as those specifically enumerated. On those findings, stampings and laminations did not answer the description of electrical goods under the entry and were appropriately classifiable as general goods.
Conclusion: Stampings and laminations were not electrical goods under entry 38 and were taxable as general goods under section 5 of the Act. The revision by the State was therefore liable to fail.
Ratio Decidendi: Goods that function only as raw material and are not independently usable as replaceable component parts do not fall within an entry for electrical goods merely because they are used in the manufacture or repair of electrical equipment.
