Income From House Property - The short point which arises for consideration in this matter is whether the determination of the annual letting value at Rs. 20,41,776 for the purpose of section 23 of the Act is contrary to the provisions of the Income-tax Act. On the facts it may be mentioned that the Court of Small Causes at Bombay has fixed the standard rent of the premises at Rs. 53,325 per month from March 1, 1982. This evidence, has not been placed on record as indicated by the judgment of the Tribunal dated December 3, 1993, in I.T. Nos. 2882 and 2883 of 1998. In view of the above it is clear that the annual letting value taken into account by the impugned judgment of the Tribunal is without considering the standard rent fixed by the Small Causes Court, which, as stated above, has fixed the standard rent at Rs. 53,325 per month from March 1, 1982. - Under the above circumstances, the appeal is allowed

Business of the assessee being one and indivisible - so it is not open to the Revenue to contend that the business is not one and indivisible - In view of the fact that a perusal of the question itself discloses that income from various ventures is earned in the course of one and indivisible business, the impugned order upholding the apportionment of the expenditure and allowing deduction of only that proportion of it which is referable to taxable income, is unsustainable

Validity of order of assessment u/s 147 - return filed u/s 139 and refund application was pending to be processed - Along with the return assessee has filed an application u/s 237 for refund of tax - Scope of the noting recorded by the AO - Held that:- it could not be said that the ITO gave finality to the refund since no refund is granted either in the hands of the trust or in the hands of the beneficiaries. It is an inconclusive note where the ITO left the matter at the stage of consideration even with regard to refund in the hands of the beneficiaries. This note was also not communicated to the trustees.
In any case if it is an order, it would be appealable under s. 249 of the Act. Since period of limitation starts from the date of intimation of such an order, it is imperative that such an order be communicated to the assessee. Had the ITO passed any final order, it would have been communicated to the assessee within a reasonable period.
By merely recording that in his opinion, no credit for tax deducted at source is to be allowed the ITO cannot be said to have closed the proceedings finally.
During the pendency of the return filed under s. 139 of the Act along with refund application under s. 237 of the Act, action could not have been taken under s. 147/148.
Decided against the revenue.

whether the job rendered by a photographer in taking photographs, developing and printing films would amount to a 'works contract' as contemplated under Article 366(2A)(b) of the Constitution read with Section 2(n) of the M.P. General Sales Tax for the purpose of levy of sales tax on business turnover of the photographers?
Held that:- It is clear that unless there is sale and purchase of goods, either in fact or deemed, and which sale is primarily intended and not incidental to the contract, the State cannot impose sales-tax on a works contract simpliciter in the guise of the expanded definition found in Article 366(29A)(b) read with Section 2(n) of the State Act. On facts as we have noticed that the work done by the photographer which as held by this Court in Kame's case (1976 (12) TMI 164 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA), is only in the nature of a service contract not involving any sale of goods, we are of the opinion that the stand taken by the respondent-State cannot be sustained. Appeal allowed by setting aside the judgment under appeal and grant the prayer of the appellants by quashing the assessment orders and the demand notices impugned in the writ petitions before the High Court.
