....ailing the order dated September 30, 2008. By the judgment and order dated January 9, 2013 passed in W. P. (C) No. 12 of 2009 N. E. Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers' Association v. State of Assam [2013] 58 VST 1 (Gauhati)), the order dated September 30, 2008, issued by the Commissioner of Taxes was upheld by the Division Bench by observing that transforming raw water into packaged drinking water would not amount to manufacture of the same.

In support of his argument, Mr. Goswami has relied upon the following decisions: (i) Y. Venkannachowdary v. Special Deputy Collector, ....

....missions made by the learned counsel for the parties and have also gone through the records. From a reading of the judgment and order dated January 9, 2013 passed in connection with W. P. (C) 12 of 2009 (N. E. Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers' Association v. State of Assam [2013] 58 VST 1 (Gauhati)), it is apparent that the said writ petition was preferred by the Association of North East Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers' Association, whose units were already under operation and the only issue raised by the petitioner therein was pertaining to the validity of the determination made by the Commissioner of Sales Tax by the order dated September 30, 2008.
