The issue concerns whether sales where goods are shipped abroad and consideration is received in foreign exchange qualify as a "sale in the course of export" under Section 5(1) of the Central Sales Tax Act and thus attract exemption under Article 286(1)(b).

On that basis the impugned revision order denying exemption was set aside and the writ petition allowed.
