The case of the petitioner is that for the goods despatched to its Branch at Hyderabad, exemption was claimed by its Unit at Aurangabad on the premise that it is the case of stock transfer from the Head Office to its Branch. However, as the original ‘F’ Forms obtained from the office of the respondent were lost, the same could not be sent to its Unit at Aurangabad. Therefore, letter dated 30.04.2009 was addressed to the respondent for issuance of Duplicate ‘F’ Forms for forwarding the same to its Unit at Aurangabad. But, under the impugned order, the respondent instead of issuing Duplicate ‘F’ Forms, permitted the petitioner to use Triplicate Forms (counter foils) of the ‘F’ Forms possessed by them. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax and perused the material available on record. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the original ‘F’ Forms issued by the respondent were lost and the said fact was informed to the respondent by way of letter dated 30.04.2009 with a request to issue Duplicate ‘F’ Forms for sending the same to the petitioner’s Unit at Aurangabad. Therefore, a suitable direction may be given to the respondent in this regard. The learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax submitted on instructions that the respondent would furnish Duplicate ‘F’ Forms which should be used by the petitioner in accordance with law, if the petitioner applies for the same and complies with the formalities in that regard. Recording the submission made by the learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax, the order under challenge is set aside and the petitioner is permitted to apply to the respondent for issuance of Duplicate ‘F’ Forms, if not already applied, and the respondent shall issue the Duplicate ‘F’ Forms within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of such application, in accordance with law. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. _____________________________ SMT.
