Attachment And Sale, Income Tax Act, Legal Representative ... ... ... ... ..... er no other result than what is stated there is likely to be produced. Neither writ of certiorari, therefore, is possible, nor any mandamus is going to be useful in the circumstances of the case. Even otherwise, as stated above, as we are satisfied that it is the Central Government which took the decision, the writ petition loses all its force. The second contention was that the order is not a speaking order, and, therefore, it should be quashed. We do not think that is a valid ground on the basis of which we can quash the order. It must be remembered that section 52 of the Estate Duty Act confers a discretion upon the Central Government to take a property in lieu of arrears or not. The counter gives the reasons as to why the Government does not consider it advisable to take the land in lieu of the arrears. We are, therefore, not inclined to quash the order on that ground. Since no other contention was raised the writ petition is dismissed with costs. Advocate s fee Rs. 100.

" It is relevant to state that it is not the argument of Sri Albal that clauses (a), (b) and (c) of section 144 are not alternative conditions, but cumulative. In our opinion, the Tribunal was right in the view it has taken that notice under section 142(1) of the Act was discretionary and the non-issue of a notice under the said sub-section does not render the Income-tax Officer incompetent to make an order under section 144 of the Act.
