Two earlier decisions of the court were deemed inadequate precedent on the issue, for not clarifying the applicability of the doctrine of mutuality. The Respondent-Club had contended that rather than sell food and beverage items to its members, it was merely an agent for the members and no consideration passed for the supply of such items.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Section 2 Companies nActCompID=18448, 1956 <BR><BR> Clause 29A Article 366 Constitution nActCompID=17381</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : sales tax, club, permanent members, f&b</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
