1995 (3) TMI 15 - MADRAS HIGH COURT
High Court, Supreme Court ... ... ... ... ..... members of the joint family by metes and bounds, it is not possible for the Wealth-tax Officer to accept the partition pleaded by an assessee under section 20(1) of the Wealth-tax Act. The partition as contemplated under section 20(1) of the Wealth-tax Act took place, according to the facts arising in this case, only on November 18, 1974, when a final decree was passed declaring the shares of the members of the joint family by metes and bounds. Thus, considering the facts arising in this case, on a plain reading of section 20(1) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, in the light of the judicial pronouncements cited supra, we hold that the Tribunal was correct in coming to the conclusion that the partition as per the provisions of section 20(1) of the Wealth-tax Act took place only on November 18, 1974, and not on January 10, 1967. In that view of the matter, we answer the questions referred to us in the affirmative and against the assessee. However, there will be no order as to costs.

1995 (3) TMI 14 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT
Financial Year, High Court, Supreme Court ... ... ... ... ..... company, I have dissented from a decision of the majority of this House. But the judicial system only works if someone is allowed to have the last word and if that last word, once spoken, is loyally accepted. We are very clear and we have no doubt in our minds that when a point is concluded by a decision of this court, all subordinate courts and inferior Tribunal within the territory of this State and subject to the supervisory jurisdiction of this court are bound by it and must scrupulously follow the said decision in letter and spirit. Since the second respondent has not decided the matter in accordance with law laid down by this court in the case of Bharat Textile Works 1978 114 ITR 28, the order passed by him requires to be quashed and set aside. In the result, the petition is allowed. The respondent authorities are directed to pay interest to the petitioner in accordance with law on the amount refunded to him. Rule is accordingly made absolute with no order as to costs.

Appeal To AAC, Assessment Year, Industrial Undertaking, Special Deduction ... ... ... ... ..... the profits of such year. It is not a case where there was no claim for deduction or non-determination of the deduction on account of non-availability of profits to be set off against such deduction. The claim was made, deduction was determined and the order was passed. The Act has provided a machinery for challenging such an order and if the procedure as provided under the Act has not been followed, then the claim could not be made in the year which has no relevance either with regard to the determination or even with regard to the set off of such deduction. In these circumstances, we are of the view that the Tribunal was correct in law in not considering the claim of the assessee during the assessment year 1972-73 holding that the assessee did not agitate the calculation of claim under section 80J done by the Income-tax Officer during the assessment year 1968-69. Accordingly, the reference is answered in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee. No order as to costs.

1995 (3) TMI 10 - MADRAS HIGH COURT
Capital Gains, Cost Of Acquisition, Fair Market Value, Original Assessment, Original Order ... ... ... ... ..... section 154 of the Act. In the present case, the Income-tax Officer applied the wrong provision of law in the original assessment while permitting the assessee to exercise its option to adopt the fair market value as on January 1, 1954, as the cost of acquisition of the depreciable asset. This was permitted on the mistaken application of law. Later on by invoking the provisions of section 154 of the Act the Income-tax Officer withdrew the permission given to the assessee to exercise its option to adopt the fair market value as on January 1, 1954. Since there is an error apparent on the face of the record in passing the original assessment order, warranting application of section 154, the order of the Tribunal was not correct in cancelling the rectification order passed by the authorities below under section 154 of the Act. In that view of the matter, we answer these questions referred to us in the negative and in favour of the Department. There will be no order as to costs.

1995 (3) TMI 9 - ANDHRA PRADESH HIGH COURT
Industrial Company, Industrial Undertaking, Special Deduction ... ... ... ... ..... dertaking under section 80J as well as a poultry farm under section 80JJ has also been rejected by the Tribunal on the ground that there is no specific prohibition in these provisions as has been found in similar provisions. All these aspects have been taken into account when this court rendered the decision in Sri Venkateswara Hatcheries case 1988 174 ITR 231. That decision has become final. We are not persuaded to differ from it. We, therefore, answer the first two questions in the affirmative, i.e., in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue. The third question is consequential as the assessee is entitled to enhanced depreciation on the footing that machinery has been utilised in an industrial company. The definition of industrial company being the same as that given for an industrial undertaking under section 80J this question also is answered in the affirmative, i.e., in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue. The referred case is accordingly disposed of.
