1996 (9) TMI 15 - KERALA HIGH COURT
Assessment, Religious Institution ... ... ... ... ..... 42B(2) and although technically it would have been open to the appellants to urge their contentions before the appellate authority, namely, the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, that would be a mere exercise in futility when a superior officer, namely, the Commissioner has already passed a well considered order in the exercise of his statutory jurisdiction under sub-section (1) of section 42B of the Act holding that 21 varieties of the compressed woollen felt manufactured by the appellants are not eligible for exemption under entry 6 of Schedule I to the Act. In view of the discussion hereinbefore, exhibits P-4 and P-5 orders passed by the respondents are set aside. Accordingly, the first respondent is directed to complete the assessment afresh on merits and in view of exhibit P-1 order of the Tribunal. The first respondent is further directed to issue notice to the petitioner before completing the assessment as directed above. The original petition is disposed of as above.

Long-term Capital Gains ... ... ... ... ..... provisions with certain changes have been placed in section 48 emphasising further that this section 48 also has been totally recast with effect from April 1, 1993, by the Finance Act, 1992. It is on the basis of this reasoning referring to the proper place of the said situation, the apex court has understood the correct and legal meaning of the words such income . In view of the above situation, the order of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal needs to be stamped as proper and correct. However, in view of the above discussion, in our judgment, we need to answer only question No. 2 which is in the proper context of the above discussion. Accordingly, we decline to answer questions Nos. 1 and 3 and we answer question No. 2 in the negative, against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. A copy of this judgment under the seal of the court and the signature of the Registrar shall be forwarded to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Cochin Bench, for passing consequential orders.

Depreciation, Motor Vehicles, Hire, Rates ... ... ... ... ..... The passengers who travel in such buses travel on hire. This would obviously mean that the buses in regard to which depreciation is claimed would have to be understood in the necessary context of the situation with regard to the claim for depreciation that the buses are running on hire. As already stated, it may be that in a given situation it must be an individual, in another situation a group or at different situations it may be a marriage party. In our judgment, the situation would not make any difference. When vehicles in regard to which depreciation is claimed do not run otherwise than for hire, obviously, the situation would be governed by item E(1A) reproduced above. For all the above reasons, the above question gets answer in the affirmative---against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. A copy of this judgment, under the seal of this court and the signature of the Registrar, shall be sent to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Cochin Bench, as required by law.

Firm, Transfer ... ... ... ... ..... n that exercise of powers under section 34 gets well justified. Learned counsel wanted to submit that in fact documents Nos. 210 and 211 really transfers the shares also of others in the firm Valuk Rubber Estate. We are afraid that we cannot permit ourselves to transgress the limits of the question we are expected to answer. All that has taken place is the consequence of the exercise of powers under section 34 of the Act and a consequential order for fresh disposal in the light of the observations and directions given by the Deputy Commissioner. In our judgment, no other conclusion is possible other than the one reached by the Deputy Commissioner. For the above reasons, we answer the question in the negative, in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee. A copy of this judgment under the seal of the court and the signature of the Registrar shall be forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner of Agricultural Income-tax and Sales tax, Kozhikode, for passing consequential orders.

Interest In Firm, Valuation, Market Value, Estate Duty ... ... ... ... ..... TR 559 decided on August 7, 1996 (of which, one of us---myself, delivered the judgment), had occasion to consider the question of an identical nature. This was in a situation where the value of the closing stock was enhanced to the extent of the market price obtainable in retail sales. The court is concerned with the process of valuation of the closing stock and the relevant date in regard thereto would be the date of death of the person in regard to whose estate proceedings are initiated. This court has held therein that fixation and valuation in the matter of closing stock is an undisputed factual situation. No other course is open to us under the circumstances. For the above reasons, we answer the question in the affirmative, in favour of the Revenue and against the accountable person. A copy of this judgment, under the seal of this court and the signature of the Registrar, shall be sent to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Cochin Bench, for passing consequential orders.

Powers, Tribunal, Carry Forward, Depreciation ... ... ... ... ..... e Revenue had requested the Tribunal to refer the above questions which, however, was refused. Situated thus, the Revenue filed the aforesaid Civil Rule No. 19(M) of 1991 and this court directed the Tribunal to refer the above questions. Hence, the present reference. We have heard Mr. G. K. Joshi, learned standing counsel for the Revenue. None appears on behalf of the assessee. The Assessing Officer completed the assessment for the assessment year 1980-81 under section 144 of the Act after considering the brought forward losses of Rs. 3,00,137. As there was no appeal against the said order, the order became final and, therefore, in our opinion, the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to reopen it on appeal. In view of the above, we answer both the questions in the negative, in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee. A copy of this judgment under the signature of the Registrar and the seal of the High Court shall be transmitted to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Guwahati.

HUF, Partial Partition, Gift, Firm, Interest To Partner ... ... ... ... ..... of the partner, namely, Sushil Kumar, the karta of the joint Hindu family. Since the partition was held to be invalid in the case of the Hindu undivided family the interest paid on the aforesaid five deposits of Rs. 20,000 each was disallowed under section 40(b) of the Act treating the same to have been paid to the partner, Sushil Kumar. Since we have held that the partition was valid, the disallowance of the interest under section 40(b) loses its validity. We, therefore, answer the aforesaid question in the negative and hold that the Tribunal was not justified in holding that the interest paid by the assessee-firm to the various members of the Hindu undivided family of Sushil Kumar and Sons has to be disallowed as per provisions of section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. References answered accordingly. An authenticated copy of this order be transmitted to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in accordance with section 260 of the Act. The parties shall bear their own costs.
