THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.23990 of 2001 June 21, 2011 Between: M/s.Madhavi Traders, Chilakaluripet, represented by its Managing Partner, Thavva Srinivasa Rao ... Petitioner And The Deputy Commissioner of CT, Nellore And others ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.23990 of 2001 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The petitioner firm, at the relevant time, was a registered dealer under the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957 as well as the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. They were in the business of lint cotton, tobacco, chillies, edible oils, dalls, pulses, cereals, iron and paints. They filed the instant writ petition aggrieved by the action of the respondents in collecting tax and penalties on transportation of RBD palmoline oil from Chennai to Chilakaluripet and other places in Andhra Pradesh. This Court, while admitting the writ petition, passed orders observing that the vehicles transporting palmoline oil from Chennai to Andhra Pradesh need not be stopped if those vehicles carry proper documents. The order has been in force for the last ten years. As of now, it appears, the grievance of the petitioner does not survive. We, however, make it clear that the petitioner is still dealer; engaged in inter- State trade and transports the goods to Andhra Pradesh from other States, the petitioner shall comply with all the formalities required under the Andhra Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005 and the Andhra Pradesh Value Added Tax Rules, 2005. The writ petition, with the above observations, is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ (V.V.S.
