Issues: (i) Whether sun-baked/dried bricks fell within the scope of the Haryana Government notification prescribing levy of tax at the first stage of sale of bricks; (ii) whether interest levied under section 25(5) of the Haryana General Sales Tax Act, 1973 was legal.
Issue (i): Whether sun-baked/dried bricks fell within the scope of the Haryana Government notification prescribing levy of tax at the first stage of sale of bricks.
Analysis: The notification dated 5 May 1973 was held to apply to bricks taxable at the first point of sale. Sun-baked/dried bricks were found not to fall within that notification, and the assessee could not claim the benefit of first-stage levy for such goods.
Conclusion: The issue was decided against the assessee and in favour of the Revenue.
Issue (ii): Whether interest levied under section 25(5) of the Haryana General Sales Tax Act, 1973 was legal.
Analysis: The levy of interest on the additional demand was upheld by applying the governing Supreme Court decisions on the liability to interest on tax dues.
Conclusion: The issue was decided in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The references were disposed of by upholding the taxability of sun-baked/dried bricks outside the first-point notification, while sustaining the legal position on interest under the Act.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a notification grants first-point sales tax treatment to specified bricks, goods not covered by that notification cannot claim its benefit, and statutory interest on tax liability is governed by the applicable interest provisions and binding precedent.
