Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
HC overturned rejection of sales tax registration application, ruling that non-residency in Andhra Pradesh cannot be grounds for denial under APGST Act. The court emphasized fundamental rights under Art. 19 guaranteeing citizens' freedom to conduct business anywhere in India. Despite authorities' concerns, rejection based on applicant's out-of-state status lacks statutory basis. The court directed immediate registration, affirming that geographical restrictions absent in legislation cannot impede constitutional right to trade. Order dated 04.11.2024 vacated with instructions to process registration under APGST Act.
