State of Tamil Nadu v. Rambal Private Limited

body1971
Judgment :- The assessee was engaged in the manufacture of machine screws at Lattice Bridge. It is a company and the object of the company should have been specified in the memorandum of association. It does not appear that the sale of scrap which accumulates from time to time in the course of the manufacture of machine screws in intended to be part of the business of manufacturers of machine screws. The scrap has to be disposed of and the disposal of it does not necessarily indicate that it was in the course of business. The business, as we said, of the assessee is really manufacture of machine screws and not sale of scrap. On that view the tax cases are dismissed; there will be no costs.
