... ... ... ... ..... ot find any reason as to why the same reasonable cause cannot be accepted for the delay in obtaining the audit reports and furnishing the same to the Assessing Officer. Since once the reasonable cause has been accepted by the Revenue and in the absence of any contrary material brought on record by the Revenue and keeping in view the decisions as relied upon by the learned A/R of the assessee as mentioned hereinabove, we hold that the assessee was prevented by reasonable cause for getting the accounts audited and furnishing the audit report to the Assessing Officer beyond the statutory period and accordingly all the grounds 1 to 3 taken by the Revenue are rejected. 15. The assessee has filed the cross-objections supporting the order of the CIT(A). In view of our decision in the Revenue’s appeals as hereinabove and in the absence of any new ground the cross-objections of the assessee are rejected. 16. In the result, all the appeals and the cross-objections are dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... Home Department (2004 Vol.2 Weekly Law Report page 1351). Reference in this connection may also be made to an interesting article by Paul P. Craig Q.C. titled 'Judicial Review, Appeal and Factual Error' published in 2004 Public Law Page 788. The impugned judgment, therefore, cannot be sustained and, thus, must be set aside. Ordinarily, we would have remitted the matter back to Industrial Tribunal for its consideration afresh but as the matter is pending for a long time and as we are satisfied having regard to the materials placed before us that the Industrial Tribunal should have granted approval of the order of punishment passed by the Appellant herein against the Respondents, we direct accordingly. The Respondents may, however, take recourse to such remedy as is available to in law for questioning the said order of dismissal. For the reasons aforementioned, the impugned judgments cannot be sustained which are set aside accordingly. The appeal is allowed. No costs.

... ... ... ... ..... vision Bench of the High Court directing the State Government to grant the Amins the minimum pay scale of No.7 does not appear to be justified and accordingly, we allow the State appeal and set aside the direction given by the Division Bench of the High Court granting the Amins the pay scale No.7.

... ... ... ... ..... order was obviously mis-conceived because admittedly there is no power of review under the Customs Act. We are also in agreement with a view of the learned Single Judge that the bereavement if any, that occurred in the family of the Managing Director of the Company could not have prevented from filing the appeal within time when it continued pursuing the other applications particularly those pertaining to renewal of its licences. Be that as it may, the Tribunal exercised its discretion keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and declined to condone the delay. The learned Single Judge was right in observing that such an order cannot be said to be one without jurisdiction warranting interference of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution. The learned Single judge was therefore right in dismissing the write petition and we find no ground to interfere in appeal. 3. In the result, the writ appeal fails and the same is dismissed with no order as to costs.

... ... ... ... ..... he purpose of levy of service tax on a part thereof. This decision of the lower appellate authority was based on the Tribunal’s decision in Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd. v. CCE 2003 155 ELT 457 (T). Revenue, in the present appeal, states that the department has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against Daelim Industrial Co. (supra) and, therefore, the Tribunal’s decision has not reached finality. This, in fact, is the only ground raised in this appeal, all other "grounds" being only references to the facts of the case. 2. The above ground raised by the appellant stands dislodged with the dismissal of the department’s appeal by the Supreme Court. A copy of the Supreme Court’s order in S.L.P. No. 24294/2003 filed by the department against the above decision of the Tribunal in the case of Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd. has been produced by the counsel. This is an order of dismissal, on merits, of the S.L.P. 3. In the result, the appeal is rejected.

Similarly certain alterations were made in the structure by removing pillars with a view to give a wider frontage to suit the convenience of the appellant. On the findings arrived at by the Courts below, no substantial question of law arises. The High Court was therefore, justified in dismissing the Second Appeal. We, therefore, find no merit in this appeal and the same is accordingly, dismissed. Counsel for the appellants submitted before us that he is willing to obey the decree of the Courts below and comply with the directions contained therein. He submitted that since execution has been laid he is under constant threat and warrant of attachment has been issued. We have no doubt that if the appellant takes steps forthwith to comply with the decree passed against him, the executing Court on being satisfied about his bona fide and genuineness, may grant him time to complete the work and permit the decree to be executed.

... ... ... ... ..... is full of ifs and buts. There is no definite finding recorded that the punishment is suffering from any infirmity. No basis has been indicated to direct re-consideration of the quantum of punishment. It is to be noted that the respondent had miserably failed to prove bonafides. Though he took the stand that he had informed the head office about the withdrawal, no material was placed before any of the authorities to prove it. It is to be noted that on the basis of material on record, it was concluded that the withdrawal was on 6.5.1992 and not on 9.5.1992 as was claimed. The respondent-employee has withdrawn a sum of ₹ 20,000/- from the account of bank with the State Bank of India on 6.5.1992 and had withdrawn a further sum of ₹ 5,000/- from the cash. Above being the position the impugned judgment of the High Court cannot be maintained and the same is set aside. The Writ Petition filed by the respondent-employee, stands dismissed. The appeal is allowed. No costs.

... ... ... ... ..... ver, revision nos. 1460 and 1464 of 1991 are dismissed. Revision nos. 1502, 1503 and 1504 of 1991 have been filed by the Commissioner of Trade Tax against the order of the Tribunal dated 27.04.1991, In the present case, Tribunal has deleted the levy of tax on the ground that the tax has been levied on the parchun goods while there is no goods in the name of parchun under the Trade Tax Act. It is true that under the Trade Tax Act, there is no goods in the name of parchun, but in commercial sense, parchun goods is commonly known as general merchandise goods, thus the view of Tribunal in this regard is not justified but since in all these cases also Form 34 and G.Rs have not been confronted and the revenue failed to prove that the alleged Form s34 have been obtained by the applicant and the alleged vehicles belonged to the opposite party, order of the Tribunal does not require any interference. In the result, revision nos. 1502, 1503 and 1504 of 1991 are accordingly, dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... rly so as a three Judge Bench of this Court has held that supply of fuel wood to employees is for the purpose connected with the plantation, which is a later decision of the two Judge Bench decision of this Court. Further that rested tea area is a part of tea plantation was not properly projected before this Court as has been rightly contended by Mr. Salve. It is a matter of experience and on reference to authoritative text books if rested tea areas are part of the plantation. We allow the appellant to approach the State government to seek exemption under Sub-section 3 of Section 81 of the Act. For this purpose we grant six weeks time to the appellant to apply to the State Government. the State Government shall take decision on such application in accordance with law explained above. till then the stay granted by this Court by order dated December 6, 1984 shall continue tto operate. With these observation the appeal stands partly allowed. There shall be no order as to costs.

... ... ... ... ..... irement and subject to the fulfilment of the other conditions laid down in section 10(10AA) of the Income-tax Act." 14. In the case of CIT v. R.J. Shahney 1986 159 ITR 160 (Mad.), it has been held that the words "whether on superannuation or otherwise" also includes the case of resignation. It has been held that a retirement may be of various kinds. It may be on superannuation or it may be voluntary. If there is any voluntary retirement from service, the provisions of section 10(10AA) would cover only such cases where there is severance of relationship of employer and employee. 15. The next case relied upon by the learned Standing Counsel. K. Gopalakrishnan v. CBDT 1994 206 ITR 1831 (Mad.) has hardly any application to the controversy involved in the present case 16. In view of the foregoing discussion, we answer the above questions referred to us in negative i.e., in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee. However, there shall be no order as to costs.

... ... ... ... ..... d maintained by the National Cooperative Union of India Ltd, New Delhi. 2. According to the assessee, this contribution is not a cess, tax, duty or fee and therefore Section 43B would not be applicable. However, before the Tribunal, the question has not been specifically raised by the revenue or by the assessee. It was submitted that in terms of Section 37, the amount of contribution to the said fund is an allowable deduction. The issue is that if section 43B is applicable then it will be allowed on actual payment basis only. If not, then it may be allowed on accrual bass. The key question is whether the contribution to the said fund is a ‘‘tax, duty, cess or fee’‘. This aspect has not been examined by the tribunal and, therefore, it would be appropriate to remit the matter to the tribunal to dispose of the same in accordance with law and to return a finding as to whether section 43B would be applicable or not. The Appeals are disposed of accordingly.

... ... ... ... ..... by the CIT through the medium of Section 263. Once the said order is disturbed, either it is modified as desired by the CIT or set aside to be redone according to law and on the basis of directions contained in the order under Section 263. Section 263 itself, contains enough clues to this effect. In our considered view, the order as passed under Section 263 is unworkable, because once an assessment is set aside it has to be redone according to law, if it is not set aside, the assessment has to be modified as directed, in which event the CIT cannot set aside an issue for reconsideration or investigation. 55. In any case, since we have, on the merits of the directions made by the CIT, held that in each of the directions there was either no error or prejudice or both, we hold that the CIT was not justified in invoking his jurisdiction under Section 263, a detailed examination of this aspect of his order is purely academic. 56. In the result the assessee's appeal is allowed.
