Mulla The Sale of Goods Act and The Indian Partnership Act

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
With large volume of commercial transactions involving sales of goods intra-country and intercountry, it may seem but paradoxical that case law does not abound in this branch of law. Further, if you consider a seamless effacement of physical market to virtual markets and internet sales, it could still be a matter of surprise that not many confront legal hurdles and get locked up in court litigation. If there are references to goods in courts' judgments, it is more often in the realm of service and goods tax law than under the Sale of Goods Act.
It has become increasingly relevant to examine the context when the term 'goods' is used. and it will lead to misleading results if the definition in one enactment is applied to the other. In CST v Quickheal Technologies Ltd, the Supreme Court explained, while dealing with computer software written on a disc or CD, the definition of goods in the Sale of Goods Act cannot merely be extrapolated to taxing statutes like, say, the Customs Act. The increasing references to sale of goods have come through various economic activities by enlarging "tax on sale or purchase of goods" under the Constitution 46 amendment through Article 366(29A) to include within its scope the transfer, delivery or supply of goods that may take place under any of the transactions referred in sub-clauses (a) to (f) of the said Article.
