Bombay high court judgement is on applicablity of VAT not ST.

ST on construction of flat was  there before that judgement. It is very difficult to say Why he did not charged ST at the time of booking without seeing your agreement.

You should ask him to provide a calculation of ST and VAT and Tax Invovice also.
