....ther words, it was urged that gowar as mentioned in entry 9 does not include gowar churi or korma. The pith and substance of the submission of the learned counsel for the assessee is that when gowar has been excluded from cattle feeds which are exempt from payment of tax, gowar churi and korma are also exempt. The exemption under entry 9 is, therefore, available in the case of gowar churi and korma. Mr. K.C. Bhandari, the learned counsel for the sales tax department, supported the order of the Board on the grounds stated by it in its order under revision and contended that as gowar is not exempt in view of entry 9 of the Schedule and since Notification No. F. 5(24) FD/CT/72-14 dated 19th May, 1972, makes mention of gowar and that too in all....

Cattle fodder including cotton-seed was exempt under the U.P. Act from 1956. An amendment was made to the Central Act including cotton-seed and oil-seeds in 1973.
