1967 (12) TMI 30 - HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
Manufacture - Brand name ... ... ... ... ..... e, unable to see how the last part of the Explanation cannot be made applicable to the present case, on the contrary, it clearly and definitely applies. We are not here concerned with the decisions on Trade Mark Law, and we do not think that they need be referred to. But the test of distinctiveness, as laid down in several of these decisions, many of which have been reviewed by us in our recent judgment in L.P.A. No. 106 of 1964 and O.S.A. No. 49 of 1964, could be definitely held established on facts of the present character. Though words like Eucalyptus oil or Nilgiri Thailam (Tamil) which appear to be synonymous expressions are common to the trade, the other features of the carton or label, particularly the photograph, signature and name or initials of the respondent are distinctive, and appear to have been employed strictly within the course of the business. Accordingly, we allow the writ appeal, and discharge the Writ of prohibition. The parties will bear their own costs.

1967 (12) TMI 29 - SUPREME COURT
Whether there be one accomplice or more and that the confessing co-accused cannot be placed higher than an accomplice?
Held that:- The High Court has very searchingly examined the evidence of Kahinath and applied to it the checks which must always be applied to accomplice evidence before it is accepted. There is corroboration to the evidence of Kashinath in respect of Haroon from the confession of Bengali given independently and in circumstances which exclude any collusion or malpractice. Regard being had to the provisions of Section 133 of the Evidence Act, we do not think that we should interfere in this appeal by special leave, particularly as we hold the same opinion about the veracity of Kashinath. Appeal dismissed.

Tax Liability, Valuation Date, Wealth Tax ... ... ... ... ..... shop or office within the State of Punjab. The respondent supplies goods within the State pursuant to orders received and accepted at New Delhi, and, also receives price for the goods within the State. But these are ancillary activities and do not in our judgment amount to carrying on trade within the State of Punjab. We need not refer in detail to cases such as Grainger and Sons v. Gough (3 T.C. 464), F. L. Smidth & Co. v. F. Greenwood( 8 T.C. 193) and Firestone Tyre & Rubber Co. Ltd. v. Lewellin( 37 T.C. 111), which interpret the expression " trade exercised within the United Kingdom " in the English Income Tax Acts, for the merely lay down that for the purpose of the Income Tax Acts, there is no single, decisive or " crucial " test to determine whether the taxpayer exercises trade at a given place. The appeal fails and is dismissed. The respondent has not appeared at the hearing. There will, therefore, be no order as to costs. Appeal dismissed.

1967 (12) TMI 27 - SUPREME COURT
Whether in computing the taxable expenditure of the assessee Hindu undivided family the sum of ₹ 28,683 being the expenditure incurred by Shri Surendra, the karta of the Hindu undivided family, out of his own self-acquired and separate property was includible in law ?
Whether in computing the taxable expenditure of the assessee Hindu undivided family the sum of ₹ 10,321 being the amount spent by trustees was includible in law?
Held that:- For the reasons already set out in dealing with the assessment year 1958-59, that the expenditure incurred by Surendra out of his personal estate is not liable to be included in the taxable expenditure for the year 1959-60. If the amount expended from out of the trust estate be held, for reasons already set out, to be expended by the trustees, the case falls within the terms of clause (i) : if it be held that the expenditure was incurred by or on behalf of the children after the income was received from the trustees it would full within clause (ii). The legislature has by the amended clause (ii) expressly provided that, where the assessee is a Hindu undivided family, any expenditure incurred by any dependant of the assessee, from or out of any income or property transferred directly or indirectly to the dependant by the assessee, is liable to be included. The words are not susceptible of the interpretation that the dependant who incurs the expenditure must be other than the dependant to whom the property is transferred by the assessee. Expenditure incurred for his own purposes by the dependant to whom the property is transferred by the Hindu undivided family clearly falls within section 4(ii) as amended.
Modify the order of the High Court. The answer to the first question for each year will be in the negative. The answer to the second question will be in the affirmative.

1967 (12) TMI 20 - MADRAS HIGH COURT
Levy of penalty u/s 28(1)(a) r/w s. 18A(9)(b) of Indian Income Tax Act, 1922 ... ... ... ... ..... stifiable reason not to act as per the requirements of section 18A(3) for the years commencing from 1950-51. The revenue no doubt concedes that such were the representations made by the respective applicants. The point for determination is whether the authorities including the Tribunal adverted themselves to the material contention of the applicants that there was reasonable cause for the inaction under section 18A(3). As already stated, a specific finding one way or the other is not found in the order of the Tribunal. Whilst therefore answering the question in each of the reference in the affirmative excepting for the assessment year 1953-54 in T.C. No. 11 of 1964, we are of the view that the Tribunal before finalising the proceedings against the applicants do consider the contentions of the respective parties that each of them had reasonable cause in not filing the estimates under section 18A(3) and decide accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs in both the cases.
