..... more than six months at a stretch on the ground that the applicant has filed no returns under misconception of law? Whether, in any view of the matter the order passed by the Trade Tax Tribunal is illegal and is liable to be set aside? Held that:- The contentions of the learned counsel for the assessee that the order of the Tribunal has been passed by ignoring material evidence have substance. The contentions as raised by the learned counsel for the assessee are, therefore, accepted by this court. The matter is remanded to the Tribunal for a fresh consideration.

The Divisional Level Committee on remand also rejected the case of the assessee by its order dated July 26, 1997 and, therefore, the assessee filed an appeal against the aforesaid order. The Trade Tax Tribunal by its order dated September 23, 1999 has dismissed the appeal of the applicant.

The learned counsel for the assessee had argued that a saw mill or a furniture workshop, as the one which the assessee has made, does not require a large tract of land. He has argued that the earlier report included the entire tract of land of 15,418 square feet, which is not the requirement of saw mill whereas the factory of the asse .....
