2009 (7) TMI 1160 - HC - VAT and Sales TaxWhether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Maharashtra Sales Tax Tribunal was justified in holding that the activity of manufacture and supply of flange assembly to Telco carried out by M/s.

The Tribunal determined that the transfer of property in the goods to Telco was incidental to the works contract, making it a sale under the Maharashtra Sales Tax on the Transfer of Property in Goods involved in the Execution of Works Contracts (Re-enacted) Act, 1989. The court upheld the Tribunal's decision, concluding that the passing of property in the goods historians. (c). (c).
