The petitioner brought a consignment of jewelry from Mumbai to Cochin without a valid Form 8FA declaration as required under the Kerala Value Added Tax Rules. The Commercial Tax Authorities assumed the petitioner intended to evade tax by clandestinely selling the consignment within Kerala. However, it was admitted that the entire consignment was taken back to Mumbai via Coimbatore without any sale within Kerala.
