Issues: Whether the detention and compounding order could be sustained on the footing that the transaction amounted to a taxable sale within Tamil Nadu and attracted tax under Entry 69, I Schedule to the Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006.
Analysis: The purchase order, tax invoice, packing list and the certificate issued by the State Bank of India showed that the contract was between the State Bank of India at Navi Mumbai and the petitioner, with delivery routed through the service partner only for onward movement and installation-related functions. On those documents, the nature of the transaction was clear and there was no material to treat M/s. Hitachi Payment Services Private Limited as the purchaser from the petitioner or as the seller to the State Bank of India. A mere irregularity in obtaining the check-post seal could not override the documentary record establishing the true nature of the transaction.
Conclusion: The detention and compounding order was unsustainable and the levy of tax on the premise of an intra-State sale within Tamil Nadu could not be upheld.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition succeeded and the consignment was directed to be released.
Ratio Decidendi: The true nature of a transaction must be determined from the contract and contemporaneous documents, and a detention order cannot be sustained where those documents establish that the movement of goods was pursuant to a transaction not amounting to a taxable intra-State sale in the State.
