Estate Duty Act, 1953 - legality and the validity of the estate duty assessment ... ... ... ... ..... ction 34(1)(c) of the Estate Duty Act neither violates article 14, nor article 19(1)(f) of the Constitution of India. Section 34(1)(c) does not levy tax on property not passing on death, but only levies estate duty on the property passing on death, but at a rate applicable to the share of the deceased aggregated with the shares of the lineal descendants. The decision in Gunda Bhaskara Rao v. Controller of Estate Duty does not render any assistance to the petitioner. We see no reason to take a different view from the one taken in Writ Petition No. 4038 of 1969. The writ petition fails on all contentions and is accordingly dismissed. The review petition filed by Sri Siva Rao to review our decision in Writ Petition No. 4038 of 1969 also fails and is dismissed. The writ petitioner shall pay the costs to the department. Also the review petitioner in C.M.P. No. 3872 of 1971 shall pay the costs to the department. Advocate s fee Rs. 75 in the W. P. and Rs. 25 in the review petition.

In section 2(47) "transfer" in relation to capital asset has been defined. It includes the sale, exchange or relinquishment of the asset or the extinguishment of any rights therein or the compulsory acquisition thereof under any law. And since "transfer" is independent of any other word in section 12B(1) preceding it and is of the widest import, we cannot accept the alternative argument of Mr. Pal that "transfer" in section 12B(1) involves a bilateral transaction. Our answer to the question in this reference is in the affirmative and in favour of the department.

"Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the assessee was entitled to the deduction of the amount of commission paid to S. R. Dhodi against his share of profit from the Shalimar Cinema?" - Held that: There is also no force in the contention that the amount paid by the assessee as commission to Dhodi was for the benefit of the firm and not for that of the assessee. As stated above, the assessee had undertaken the responsibility of running the cinema strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of the liceice and the rules in force. It was to discharge that personal responsibility that the assessee entered into an arrangement with Dhodi. The amount paid to Dhodi was thus for the benefit of the assessee and with a view to enable him to earn his share of the income of the partnership. We, therefore, answer the question, referred to this court, in the affirmative.
