....eas, i.e., that the goods had been transferred from its factory at Bahadurgarh (Haryana) to its head office at Delhi and sold to various customers. There was no previous order.

....plicantdealer stated that there was no record of any orders placed by the buyers. It is difficult to believe that without any order in writing a prudent businessman will despatch the goods to unknown buyers in far-flung places. The explanation of the applicant-dealer that some friend or agent of these buyers may have placed the order at Delhi has rightly been rejected by the authorities.

Despatch of goods from the factory to head office at Delhi does not conform to any set pattern.
