... ... ... ... ..... by respondent No. 1 in the suit of 1984, but even assuming that if the written statement was not filed, the very fact that the appellant/plaintiff was forced to file the suit claiming ownership rights pleading that defendant No.1/respondent No.1 was only a benamidar shows that defendant No.1/respondent No.1 was claiming title adverse to the appellant/plaintiff at least from 1984. The present suit therefore filed in 2010 i.e. after 23 years is ex facie barred by limitation. As per Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963 when the period of limitation for filing of the suit qua an immovable property comes to an end, the ownership rights qua the same also get extinguished as against the person who ought to have filed the suit within 12 years. 16. In view of the above, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned judgment of the trial Court dated 2.4.2011. The present appeal, being without any merit, is accordingly dismissed, leaving the parties to bear their own costs.

... ... ... ... ..... CIT(Appeals) except relying on such evidence has not recorded any cogent reasons for giving outright relief. In view thereof we are inclined to set aside the matter back to the file of ld. CIT(Appeals) to decide the same afresh after calling the assessment record for his perusal and decide the contention of the assessee on the basis of material available on record. In view thereof ground no. 2 of the revenue is allowed for statistical purposes. 6.4. Apropos ground no. 3 i.e. operational expenses, in our view the ld. CIT(Appeals) has not given proper reasons for deleting the addition. The interest of justice would be met if the ld. CIT(Appeals) decides the same on merits after perusing the original assessment record as directed above. In view thereof, this ground of appeal taken by the revenue is also allowed for statistical purposes. 7. In the result, revenue’s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes as indicated above. Order pronounced in open court on 11-05-2012.

... ... ... ... ..... e Tax Act relating to deductions, rebate, etc the other provisions of the Income Tax Act shall apply. Therefore it is clear that the provision of sections 87 and 88A to 88E also apply after the total income is computed under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and since the assessee’s total income includes the income from the taxable Securities Transactions, the assessee is entitled to a deduction of the amount equal to the STT paid by him in respect of the taxable Securities Transactions entered into in the course of business during the previous year. The assessee’s appeal is thus allowed and the Assessing Officer is directed to give rebate under section 88E for the STT paid by the assessee.” Since the issue is covered by the decision cited supra, respectfully following the same, we allow the claim of assessee. This ground of revenue’s appeal is also dismissed. 7. In the result, appeal of revenue is dismissed. 8. Order pronounced in open court.

The matter, as seen, is also covered in favour of the assessee by “Jacabs Civil Incorporated” (supra) and “Mitsubishi Corporation” (supra) and “SNC Lavalin International Inc.”(supra). 94. Accordingly, Ground No. 5 is accepted. 95. In view of the above, the grievance of the assessee by way of the grounds of appeal taken for both the years is found to be justified and is accepted, as dealt with in detail above. The impugned orders passed by the AO are, hence, cancelled. 96. Consequently, both these appeals of the assessee are allowed. 97. In the result, the Department’s appeal for the assessment year 2005- 06 in ITA No. 1599(Del)2011 is dismissed, whereas the assessee’s appeals in ITA Nos. 5437 & 5438(Del)2011 for assessment years 2007-08 & 2008- 09 respectively, are allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... rs of the CIT(A) in directing the assessing officer to estimate the profit of the assessee at 3% of the purchases or stock put for sale during the year, as noted above, are based on the decision of the Tribunal in ITA No.591/Hyd/2011 dated 28.7.2011.

... ... ... ... ..... The co-ordinate Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Manjir Singh Bagga Vs. ITO in ITA No.371 & Others dated 30th September, 2010 held that the estimation of the net profit at 3% is reasonable. In view of the matter, ends of justice would be met if we estimate the net profit of the assessee at 3% of purchases or stock put for sale during the year under consideration as against the estimation of 5% made by the CIT(A)”. In view of our aforesaid decision, we uphold the order of CIT (A) and direct the AO to estimate net profit at 3% of the purchases or stock put for sale during the year subject to the assessed income not less than returned income. 5. In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue stands dismissed. 6. Since we have dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue, the Cross Objection filed by the assessee which merely supports the findings of the CIT (A), has become infructuous and the same is dismissed as such. Order was pronounced in the Court on 04-05-2012.

... ... ... ... ..... uch loan was not utilized for the business of the assessee, the same was held to be not deductible. In the final analysis the A.O. made addition for the said sum of ₹ 56,606. The learned CIT(A) upheld the assessment order on this issue. 9. Having heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record it is noted that this amount of ₹ 56,606 was admittedly paid by the assessee but not accounted for in the books of account. No evidence has been produced before us to demonstrate as to why such interest was not recorded in the books of account or the source of such amount. In such circumstances we are of the considered opinion that this amount has rightly been added by the authorities below. This ground is not allowed. 10. Ground no.5 about the confirmation of addition of ₹ 30,000 was not pressed by the learned AR. The same is, therefore, dismissed. 11. In the result, the appeal is partly allowed. Order pronounced on this 30th day of May, 2012.

... ... ... ... ..... er were long-term capital gains. His claim was accepted by the Tribunal. Held, that the Tribunal was right in law in holding that the capital gain was a long-term capital gain." In view of the decisions cited above, we are of the considered opinion that the assessee is entitled to indexation benefit on the NCPA flat from the date of agreement and not on the basis of actual payment." 7. Respectfully following the above decisions, we hold that the benefit of indexation will be given from the date when the assessee entered into the agreement for acquiring the two flats in question and not on the basis of various dates of payments made for acquiring the said properties and the computation filed by the assessee in the revised return is accordingly upheld. Thus, we affirm the findings of the CIT (A) and consequently, the ground raised by the Department is dismissed. 8. In the result, appeal filed by the revenue is dismissed Order pronounced on this 11th day of May, 2012.

Addition made in the Income - Assessee received as security deposit (Cost of equipment) in respect of supplies deep-freezers/freezers/fridges to various vendors - Sale proceeds of land - to be treated as business income or under capital gains.
Addition made in the Income - As per agreement entered into between the assessee and the vendors, the assessee supplies them with deep-freezers/freezers/fridges of sizes as per requirement of the Vendors concerned after taking from them full cost of the equipment as Security Deposit - HELD THAT:- Since the co-ordinate bench in the case of High Range Foods (P) Ltd.[2011 (2) TMI 1117 - ITAT, COCHIN] has already taken a view on identical issue, by following the said decision, we hold that the deposits collected from vendors cannot be considered as the income of the assessee so long as the agency agreement continues. Accordingly, we set aside the order of Ld CIT(A) on this issue in the hands of both the assessees and direct the AO to delete the addition made on this issue in the hands of both the assessees herein.
Sale proceeds of land - to be treated as business income or under capital gains - Tribunal has held in the case of High Range Foods (P) Ltd,(supra) that the intention of the assessee at the time of purchasing the land would decide the nature of income arising on its sale, i.e. if an assessee purchases a land in order to hold it as a “Capital asset”, then the gain arising on its sale shall be assessed as “Capital gain”. On the other hand, if the intention was to hold it as stock in trade, then the profit arising on its sale would be assessed as “Income from business”.
Accordingly, we set aside the order of the Ld. CIT(A) on this issues and restore the same to the file of the AO with the direction to examine the issue afresh in the light of principles discussed by the co-ordinate bench of Tribunal in the case of High Range Foods (P) Ltd, supra, and decide the issue accordingly.
In the result, the appeals filed by both the assesses are treated as allowed for statistical purposes.

... ... ... ... ..... ich is not a scenario envisaged by the CBDT while fixing TCS of 1% for liquor trade. 9. Under the circumstances cited above, it is requested that the Hon’ble Tribunal be pleased to direct that the estimate of net profit above 5% of the purchases made by the assessee. 10. After hearing both the parties and perusing the record as well as the orders of the authorities below, after taking into consideration the submissions of the DR, inter-alia, that estimate of net profit above 5% of the purchases made by the assessee is to be adopted, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) in directing the AO to estimate net profit at 5% of the purchases or stock put for sale during the year subject to the assessed income not less than returned income. Therefore, the order of the CIT(A) is hereby upheld on this count and dismiss the ground of appeal of the assessee. 11. In the result, MA is allowed and appeal is partly allowed.

He may do so by making a proper application in this regard, if he so desires. As prayed, list this petition in July 2012.

Salary out of misc. expenses an amount of ₹ 2,10,806/- has been disallowed for want of details. Before ld. CIT(Appeals) no additional evidence has been filed to come over the deficiencies pointed out. In view thereof, we see no infirmity in the order of ld. CIT(Appeals) on these issues.

... ... ... ... ..... y the appellant, were without any co-relation and without any substantiation, inasmuch as the impugned order gives the reasoning that the Kacha/Pakka challans indicates receipt of grey fabrics, while the statement of approximately 27 merchant manufacturers were not recorded to corroborate. All these inherent commission and omission has to be properly reasoned out by the adjudicating authority in his findings for confirmation of demand against the appellant. We find that the reasoning given by the adjudicating authority is not addressing all these issues, which were raised before him. In the absence of any such co-relation, we are of the considered view that the issue needs to be reconsidered by the adjudicating authority and hence we set-aside the impugned and remit the matter to the adjudicating authority to reconsider the issue afresh after following the principles of natural justice. 9. Appeal allowed by way of remand. (Operative part of the order pronounced in the Court)

... ... ... ... ..... e on this issue. 11. Grounds No.3 of the assessee in this appeal read as follows- “3. The assessing officer and CIT(A) both erred on facts and law in disallowing the expenditure of ₹ 31,671 incurred in purchasing of carry bags.” 12. We heard both sides and perused the orders of the lower authorities and other material on record. In view of the settled position of law as laid down by the jurisdictional High Court in the case of Indwell Constructions (supra) that once business income of the assessee is determined by the assessing officer, by resorting to estimates, on rejection of book results, there is no scope for any separate addition, we find no justification for the disallowance of ₹ 31,671 made by the assessing officer and confirmed by the CIT(A). Consequently, the addition of ₹ 31,671 is deleted and this ground of the assessee is allowed. 13. In the result, assessee’s appeal is partly allowed. Order pronounced in the court on 4.5.2012

... ... ... ... ..... e is not shifting the stand but it is his mother’s stand which is changed with regard to the sale of jewellery. Existence of jewellery with mother is not doubted. Only the person to whom it is sold is changed. The capital gain of the jewellery has been assessed in her hand. The assessee was the son of the donor, Smt. Mohinder Wati. She was assessed to tax. She has explained the source which has been ascertained by the assessing authority. She was the mother of the assessee. The revenue has failed to brought on record anything which could show that it was assessee’s own money which has been deposited in the bank. The immediate source of the gift received is explained. Thus, considering totality of the facts and circumstances including the income-tax assessments of the donor, we find no merits in the revenue’s appeal and we dismiss the same. 7. In the result, the appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in open court on this 18th day of May, 2012.
