Exemption from turnover - inter-state sale or not - Form-F declaration - false document - consignment sales or not - AO rejected the claim on inter-state movement of goods in the second round of proceedings after remand - the Tribunal did not advert to the findings rendered by the appellate Deputy Commissioner in the earlier round more particularly, with regard to the documentation, the nature of transaction and the role of the broker - what the Assessing Officer was did is to ignore the finding and merely acted based upon the directions of the Enforcement Wing Officials thereby abdicating its power as an Assessing Officer. That apart, as a subordinate statutory authority, the findings rendered by the appellate authority are binding on the Assessing Officer. These aspects have been ignored by the Tribunal while reversing the order passed by the first appellate authority. - HC
