That is a bit rich coming out of you.
A student claiming to be a tax consultant calling wisdom of Judges of a High Court idiosyncratic and antithetical.
Nice one.
But Kerala HC judgement is correct both in KVAT and GST. FYI the same part approached the HC in GST regime also. You can read the judgement.
And as far as destination based tax is concerned Bom HC has also given its final decision in case of intermediary where POS is place of supplier as constitutional and valid
For more details on how GST is to be read, read my previous reply to Pankaj ji.
As all the risks will be transferred to seller in Delhi itself I would say POS will be Delhi.
Thanks all of you for your views and giving me direction....We are as a team should respect others view also and promote healthy discussion...

Your views are quite biased taking account of only destination based tax shunning all aspects of other laws and GST as well which are enforceable on that transaction.
Secondly your reasons varies with change in transactions while my reason is simple. If liability transferred delivery terminates.
So your views are based on assumptions while my views are based on legal systems
And for you AAR has merit but a HC doesn't which shows your level of intelligence and knowledge.
Good luck with your exams if you are still pursuing.
This transaction is covered in section 12(2), according to which if buyer is a registered person, POS shall be location of buyer i.e. Maharashtra, otherwise POS shall be place where goods terminates for delivering to customer i.e. delhi
My two cents:
This issue has always faced an issue under GST. Considering intention of law and seamless credit concept and GST law wordings therein, read with the procedure, i.e. address on record, If Maharashtra address is given (or GSTIN and address for B2B), then POS would be Maharashtra.
Considering Delhi would defeat the purpose of indirect taxation and further the cascading concept.
This in time would be upheld by Courts under GST.
Where the buyer asks the seller to deliver to its place and the seller agrees then it is the responsibility of the seller to deliver it to the buyer's premises. Where the transporter is engaged by the seller the transporter is the agent of the seller and therefore supply would be interstate as delivery is getting terminated at the buyer's premises.
