Facts of the Case

M/s Rameswar Agro Industries (P) Ltd. filed a sales tax revision petition (STREV No.30 of 2021) against the State of Odisha. The order does not set out the specific facts of the underlying tax dispute in detail; instead, counsel for the CT & GST Department contended that the case was covered by the ratio decided by the same Court in Duro Pipes Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Odisha (STREV No.36 of 2017, disposed of on 14.12.2022).

This order provides no standalone legal reasoning — it simply extends an earlier ruling (Duro Pipes) to the present case's facts, which are themselves not detailed in the order. It relates to a pre-GST sales-tax revision proceeding and has no GST-law content of its own; readers interested in the substantive point of law should consult the Duro Pipes judgment directly.

  • Odisha Sales Tax Act / Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 — revision provisions (pre-GST regime)
