Levy of penalty u/s 9-B (3) of the OST Act - The fact of the matter is that as far as the installed capacity was concerned, with the exemption on payment of sales tax on the finished product having come to end on 1st December 1993, the Petitioner was bound to collect the sales tax on the finished product which in fact it did. It was this tax that the Petitioner deposited with the Department - the explanation offered by the Petitioner that it was bound to collect the sales tax for this period is both logical and correct. If that is the position, then there is no justification in imposing any penalty on the Petitioner for these two years on the ground that it had illegally collected sales tax. - HC
