In Miscellaneous Petition No. 441 of 1955 the assessee got some relief by way of a first appeal, and in both the cases the second appeals of the assessee were dismissed as out of time. We need not, however, refer to the amounts involved for the reason that the points raised are covered now by authorities and all that we have to do is to give a binding decision for future cases on similar points. 3.. The tax was levied on sales in which admittedly the goods were not delivered in the State. The assessee despatched goods to Uttar Pradesh where other dealers sold them to consumers. The short point is whether sales tax can be levied upon such transactions regard being had to Article 286 o .....
