Whether supply of bus body after constructing and fitting the same to chassis provided by the Government is in pursuance of a sale or a works contract?
A contract of sale is a contract whose main object is the transfer of the property in, and the delivery of the possession of, a chattel as a chattel to the buyer. Where the main object of the work undertaken by the payee for the price is not the transfer of a chattel qua chattel, the contract is one for work and labour.
