In Brief
High Range Coffee Curing Pvt. Ltd appealed against the High Court's decision rejecting purchase tax benefits claimed under the Industrial Policy, 1996. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment, holding that the mere addition of the appellant's industry to Appendix-IV of the policy amendment did not alter the core tax treatment under the original policy framework. The Court also rejected a technical objection to the High Court's recall of its decision, noting that the appellant's participation on merits in subsequent proceedings precluded reliance on procedural defects. The appeals were dismissed accordingly.
