Issues: Whether the amendment extending the effective date under Rule 28(21-A)(d)(i) of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Rules applied to files already transferred during the interregnum, and whether the assessment files were required to continue with the previous assessing officer until 1 April 2000.
Analysis: The provision created a deeming fiction under which a dealer registered with an authority lacking jurisdiction over the principal place of business was treated as having applied for transfer to the competent authority, with the transfer deemed to take effect from the prescribed date. The Court held that the later amendment extending the date from 1999 to 2000 had to be given full effect and could not be confined only to future cases. The deemed consequence of the rule could not be curtailed merely because a physical transfer of records had already taken place in the intervening period, especially when no substantive assessment action had been taken by the transferee officer.
Conclusion: The amendment applied to the transferred files, the impugned order was quashed, and the assessment files were directed to continue with the previous assessing officer till 1 April 2000.
Final Conclusion: The assessee succeeded in securing restoration of the earlier assessment arrangement, with the statutory deeming fiction given full effect over the interim administrative transfer.
Ratio Decidendi: A deeming provision extending a statutory transfer date must be given full effect according to its legal fiction, and an intervening physical transfer of records does not defeat the operation of the amended rule unless the statute clearly so provides.
