1973 (9) TMI 12 - DELHI HIGH COURT
Whether the burden of proof that an amount of refund was actually allowed as deduction in an earlier year is on the department - " Whether, on the facts of this case, section 10(2A) of the Act could be invoked in bringing the sum of Rs. 21,107 to tax ? " - when the circumstances are capable of being construed either in favour of the department or in favour of the assessee, the rule is that they should be construed in favour of the assessee. The conclusion of the Tribunal that the amount in question had been allowed or deducted in any earlier assessment year is not based upon any evidence at all and is based on merely surmise and conjecture. We, therefore, hold that the amount of Rs. 21,107 is not includible in the assessee-company's income of this year under section 10(2A) of the Act. The question referred to us is answered in the negative, i.e., in favour of the assessee and against the department.

Validity of order - We hold that the order, passed by the respondent in the inquiry under section 132(5) was illegal and void as it was passed in violation of the mandatory requirements of rule 112A(4) and in violation of the principles of natural justice. We, therefore, allow this special civil application and quash and set aside the order passed by the respondent as the same was illegal. As a consequence of quashing and setting aside the, it will follow that the amount of Rs. 1,70,000 and 23 guineas which were seized by the respondent from the locker in the Surat People's Co-operative Bank must be returned to the petitioner. It will, however, be open to the respondent to adopt such proceedings as he can in law adopt as regards these two items. The respondent must pay the costs of this special civil application to the petitioner. Rule is made absolute accordingly. Mr. Kaji, for the respondent, applies that the operation of this order may be stayed for two weeks so that in the meanwhile an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court may be preferred.
