... ... ... ... ..... liance on the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hindustan Steel Ltd. vs. State of Orissa (83 ITR 26) in which it has been held that penalty which is the result of quasi criminal proceeding will not ordinarily be imposed unless the party obliged either acted deliberately in defiance of law or was guilty of conduct contumacious or dishonest, or acted in conscious disregard of its obligation. The Tribunal noted that there was no deliberate defiance of law on the part of the assessee. In this case, the Tribunal accordingly deleted the penalty. Facts in the present case are identical as penalty has been levied in an identical manner for the same default on 20.10.2009. Therefore, respectfully following the decision of the Tribunal in assessee’s own case in its order dated 9.5.2012 in ITA Nos.8656 to 8658/M/11 and in ITA Nos.8660 to 8661/M/11, we set aside the order of the CIT(A) and delete the penalty. 5. In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... ommissioner of Income Tax, 219 ITR 214 it was held that the High Court can even call for supplementary statement of the case. 13. The question as to whether the findings of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.6874 of 2000 decided on 9th October, 2001 were subject matter of consideration in WTR No.95 of 1991, which was also pending and was decided on 1.5.2007 between the same parties, when the Supreme Court held on 9th October, 2001, that fraud was played by rectification of the trust deed by altering the object of the trust, this Court had considered the question as to whether the directions of the Apex Court that its observation will not affect the assessment proceedings that have become final and held that the earlier judgment of the Supreme Court dated 18.7.1996 dismissing the special leave petition against the order of the Settlement Commission will be binding on the High Court. 14. The questions of law are thus decided in favour of the revenue and against the assessee.

... ... ... ... ..... not pertaining to the State Trade Tax Act. It is related to the Central Sales Tax. So, the same is not applicable in the cases of each assessee. Further, the Tribunal observed that Notification No. 2947 dated 11.12.1995 issued by the Government of U.P. has specifically granted the exemption from the tax on the purchase of paddy. So, each addition was deleted. By considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, it appears that the notification (supra) is in favour of the assessees, where it was mentioned that no tax is leviable on the purchase of paddy. The observations made by the Hon'ble Apex Court was already distinguished in the impugned orders and the same appears reasonable. In view of above, there is no reason to interfere with the impugned orders passed by the Tribunal and the same are hereby sustained along with the reasons mentioned therein. In the result, all the revisions filed by the Department have no merits and same are hereby dismissed.

The Assessing Officer is, however, directed to recompute the interest chargeable under sections 234A, 234B & 234C of the Act, if any, while giving effect to this order. 13. In the result, the assessee's appeal for Assessment Years 2007-08 & 2008-09 are allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... e penalty imposed on him is to the extent of ₹ 50 lakhs. The learned consultant has submitted that, inter alia, his client received an amount of ₹ 3,000/- per transaction totaling to ₹ 6 lakhs. This itself would prima facie indicate a deliberate involvement of Shri Vijay Anand in the fraudulent transactions. In the facts and circumstances of this case, we are inclined to direct Shri Vijay Anand to predeposit an amount of ₹ 20 lakhs towards the penalty imposed on him. In respect of the joint and several liability fastened on him, there shall be waiver and stay. In the result, Shri Vijay Anand shall deposit ₹ 20,00,000/- (Rupees twenty lakhs only) within four weeks and report compliance to DR/AR on 16.1.2013. DR/AR to report to the Bench on 30.1.2013. In the event of due compliance, there will be waiver and stay in respect of the balance amount of penalty as well as the balance amount of the drawback amount. (Dictated and pronounced in open Court)

... ... ... ... ..... ore the Assessing Officer for his comments. In the remand report of the Assessing Officer to the CIT(A), he has only commented on the genuineness of the payment. The CIT(A) has also not examined whether tax has to be deducted with reference to commission payments. In such a situation, the issue whether TDS has to be deducted under section 194H of the Act and whether such commission is disallowable by invoking the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act does not arise out of the order of the first appellate authority. Since the issue of TDS does not arise out of CIT(A)’’s order, the same cannot be considered by the Tribunal, as the Tribunal’s power is limited to the subject matter of appeal before it. Therefore, there is no mistake apparent in the order of the Tribunal in ITA No.104/Bang/2011 dated 20/12/2011 which warrants our interference under section 254(2) of the Act. 11. In the result, the Miscellaneous Petition filed by the department is dismissed.

Assessee assessed u/s 44BB Or under section 44DA - Held that:- The amendment made by the Finance Act, 2010 w.e.f. 01.04.2011 in both the sections, cannot have the effect of altering or effacing the fundamental nature of both the provisions or their respective spheres of operation or to take away the separate identity of Section 44BB. We do not, therefore, see how these amendments can assist the Revenue's contention in the present case, put forward by the learned Senior Standing Counsel. We, therefore, agree with the AAR that in the present case the profits shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of section 44BB of the Act and not section 44DA.

... ... ... ... ..... /s 254 of the I.T. Act. Following this ratio, we are satisfied that when the appellate authority including the ld. CIT(A), entertains a new claim as such, the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Goetze India Ltd supra does not impinge his power to entertain the claim for deduction otherwise than by filing revised return before the assessing authority. The ld. CIT(A), therefore, cannot be said to have committed any error in entertaining the claim for deduction made before him as such.” 4. In the other cases also, the facts are identical except for the figure of receipts income and expenditure. 5. We have found that the issues involved in all these appeals stand squarely covered by the Jodhpur Bench decision supra rendered in ITA No. 385/JU/2009. 6. Accordingly, by respectfully following the above Tribunal order, we allow all these appeals. 7. In the result, all the appeals of the assessees are allowed. Order Pronounced in the Court on 04th December, 2012.

Addition of unexplained investment - Delivery of possession of land - Held that - Assessee had given the possession of land in February-2009 to the purchaser and the purchaser could enjoy the fruits of property only after that date - the seller may retain the deed pending payment of price and in that case there is no transfer until the price is paid and the deed is delivered - Hence the assessee has rightly treated the transfer of land in AY 2009-10 and therefore the AO was not right in taxing the income on sale of land in AY 2008-09 - Decided in favor of assessee

... ... ... ... ..... udgment of the High Court; and the AICTE and the concerned University shall ensure that the academic courses of these students are completed within the balance period of the academic year in all respects. For this purpose, if extra classes are required to be held, the concerned institute, the University and the AICTE are directed to ensure holding of such extra classes. (vi) If the appellate authority decides the matter prior to 30th April of the concerned year and grants approval to a college, then alone such institution will be permitted to be included in the list of colleges to which admissions are to be made and not otherwise. In other words, even if the appellate authority grants approval after 30th April, it will not be operative for the current academic year. All colleges which have been granted approval/affiliation by 10th or 30th April, as the case may be, shall alone be included in the brochure/advertisement/website for the purpose of admission and none thereafter.

... ... ... ... ..... t created will be eligible for grant of depreciation. This view is supported by the judgment of the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay in the case of CIT vs. Institute of Banking (supra). The Hon’ble High Court has also upheld that in case in the earlier year the expenditure incurred is more than the income then such excess expenditure or deficit has to be considered as application of income in the subsequent year for the purpose of considering the application of income. The ld. DR has pointed out that the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Bombay (supra) has been considered and not followed by the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh. But being the Jurisdictional High Court the judgment, the Tribunal is bound by the said judgment and accordingly we allow both the grounds in favour of the assessee and dismiss the appeal of the revenue. o p /o p 5. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. o p /o p Order pronounced in the open court on 19.12.2012. o p /o p

Remission or cessation of the trade liability standing - addition u/s 41 - Held that:- It is based on factual matrix of the matter and the liability in the end of the year if not proved can certainly be added u/s 41(1) of the Act but it is still left open for the assessing authority to examine and opportunity is available before the assessing authority to produce the creditor and if unable to give the exact address, it will be open for the assessing authority to add back the same as per law. We do not find any substantial question of law arises in the facts & circumstances of the case which may require any consideration.

Whether non-compliance of Section 42, non-involvement of any independent witness at any stage of the investigation and the presence of PW5 at the spot being so very doubtful, thus, compel this Court to hold that the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt?

... ... ... ... ..... goods illegally on the basis of forged documents from ICD, Tughlakabad, and then selling them in the open market. This need to be probed into by the investigating agency and for this purpose, a free hand deserves to be given to them. I, therefore, feel that merely because certain observations have been passed by this Court in Monika Singh’s case (supra), they do not ipso facto apply to the present case. 12. Keeping in view the enormity and the gravity of the offence in the instant case, I feel it is not a fit case where this Court should exercise discretion in favour of the petitioner and grant him anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the application for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. 13. I also feel that since there is no specific prayer in the petition that the petitioner should be interrogated in the presence of a counsel, it will be totally inappropriate to pass any such order in an anticipatory bail application. The said oral prayer is also rejected.
