JUDGMENT
Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, J.
Heard Sri A.C. Tripathi, learned Standing Counsel for the revisionist-State and Sri Rakesh Ranjan Agarwal, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Sri Suyash Agarwal, learned counsel for the opposite party-Assessee.
2. These connected five revisions arise out of the judgments and orders dated 05.09.2013 and 28.09.2012 allowing the second appeal filed by the Assessee. The Revision No.92 of 2014, Revision No.152 of 2014 and Revision No.149 of 2014 were admitted on the following question of law:-
The amendment to Section 8(5) of the CST Act does not retrospectively affect previously granted tax exemptions, which remain valid unless revoked with notice.
Exemptions under G.O.Ms. No. 1091 are general under state law but do not qualify as general exemptions under the Central Sales Tax Act due to specific conditions in the exemption notification.
The amendment to Section 8(5) of the CST Act applies prospectively and does not retroactively affect vested rights to tax exemption granted prior to the amendment.
The court upheld the Tax Board's interpretation of tax exemption calculations based on percentage increases in inter-State sales, affirming that authorities acted within the notification's spirit.
The Notification under Section 8(5) of the CST Act operates independently, allowing a reduced tax rate without the conditions of Section 8(4) applying.
The court confirmed plaintiffs' entitlement to refund of mistakenly paid sales tax based on the principles of unjust enrichment, affirming jurisdiction and time applicability under the Limitation Act....
Sales made outside Uttar Pradesh are excluded from turnover calculations for tax liability under the U. P. Sales Tax Act, reaffirmed by constitutional provisions.
