Report No. 61

6.20. Significance of the "deceiving".-

Since, in India, the only crucial word is "deceiving1", Courts are, it appears, free to adopt a wider interpretation than was adopted by English Courts under the old statute2. After all, such fraud as is deliberate, though not relating to a matter of "fact", ought not to go unpunished. The way of the transgressor ought to be made as hard as possible. It is, therefore, a proper view to take that if a dealer deliberately over-charges tax, he is 'deceiving the customer, because he is, by his own act, inducing the customer to believe that the tax is legally chargeable.
