Headnote | Proof of account books of business in criminal trials, ingredients to be proved, explained-Presumption in favour of acts of public servants charged with bringing home economic and other crimes - Kerala General Sales Tax Act, 1963, Sections 46(1)(a), 46(1)(c) and 46(2)(c). During the course of a surprise raid by the Intelligence Wing of the Sales Tax Authorities for verification of accounts of the respondents pertaining to their sales tax returns submitted by them on the 18th of each of the months of February, March and April 1969, respondent No. 1 produced certain books of accounts viz. current note books, bill books, stock register of the sales and purchases and purchase bills in current use relating to the "Kallu-palam Lad's Jawellery Mart" business and placed the same in a room adjacent to the firm's show room for inspection. While examining these account books, the inspecting party noticed some other account papers in the form of diarysize account books, ledger size account books, exercise account books lying on that very table. Finding that a number of transactions of sales and purchase of the jewellery entered in the second set of account books noticed, by them, revealing a large turnover for the months of January, February and March 1969, these account books were seized. On the basis of the result of the aforesaid inspection three complaints were filed under sections 46(1)(a) (for submission of untrue returns), 46(1)(c) (for failure to keep true and complete accounts) and 46(2)(c) (for fraudulent evasion of tax) of the Kerala General Sales Tax Act, 1963 and the rules made thereunder. On a consideration of the evidence adduced in the case, the Trial Court acquitted the respondents under s. 46 (2) ( c) but convicted them under section 46(1)(a) and 46(1)(c) of the Act and imposed a fine of Rs. 600/ยท and Rs. 500/- respectively on each of the respondents under the aforesaid two counts. On appeal the Additional Sessions Judge, set aside the conviction and acquitted the respondents of the charges under Sections 46(1)(a) and 46(1)(c) of the Act as well. The State's appeal before the Kerala High Court failed and hence the appeal by special leave. |
