2016 (5) TMI 119 - HC - Income TaxAmount received covered under Section 10(3) - whether receipts which are of a casual and non-recurring nature? - Held that:- The sum of ₹ 20 lakhs received by the Assessees was in the context of the cancellation of the sale certificate and the sale deed executed in their favour in relation to an immovable property and neither Assessee was dealing in immovable property as part of his business. While it could if at all be said to be in the nature of a capital receipt, what is relevant for the present case is that the Revenue has been unable to make out a case for treating the said receipt as of a casual and non-recurring nature that could be brought to tax under Section 10(3) read with Section 56 of the Act. AO was in error in proceeding on the basis that a sum of ₹ 20,00,000 received by the Assessee was in the nature of a casual and non-recurring receipt which can be brought to tax under Section 10(3) of the Act. Having held that it could not be in the nature of capital gain it was not open to the Revenue to seek to bring it to a tax under the revenue receipt. Following the decision in Cadell Weaving Mill (2001 (2) TMI 105 - BOMBAY High Court ), there can be no manner of doubt that what is in the nature of capital receipt, cannot be sought to be brought to tax by resorting to Section 10(3) read with Section 56 of the Act. - Decided against the Revenue
