Accordingly, all these 14 appeals in these individual partners’ cases are dismissed. 39.

JDR who submits that the application deserves to be dismissed. 4. On a careful consideration of the case records, we find that the appellant is not apparently interested in pursuing the application. Hence, application is dismissed for non-prosecution. Consequently, stay petition and appeal also get dismissed. (Pronounced and dictated in open court)

... ... ... ... ..... - and deleted the remaining addition of ₹ 5,15,000/-. 15. The Tribunal in the impugned order was of the opinion that so far as household expenses were concerned, both the parties having proceeded on estimate basis, the assessment made by the Commissioner (Appeals) seemed to be quite reasonable and accordingly sustained the same. Thus, both by the Assessing Officer as well as the Commissioner (Appeals) had worked out the amount of household expenses on the basis of an estimate. In either case the addition is based upon estimate and as such, does not give rise to any question of law. Therefore, this ground of appeal also does not merit acceptance. 16. For the foregoing reasons, it is not possible to state that the Tribunal has committed any legal error so as to warrant interference. No question of law, as proposed or otherwise, much less, a substantial question of law can be stated to arise out of the impugned order of the Tribunal. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... ion 78(2)(b) of the Act of 1994. 6. Division Bench of this Court in State of Rajasthan & Another Vs. Tajiander Pal, reported in (2003) 6 Tax Update Part 3 Page No. 84 held that these provisions are not mandatory and are directory in nature. Division Bench of this Court further held that if all the requisite documents are available at the time of checking of vehicle/goods, then intention to evade tax cannot be inferred. Both the appellate authorities have recorded a concurrent finding that there was no mens-rea on the part of the assessee, as all the required documents were available and tax had already been paid by the assessee, therefore intention to evade tax cannot be inferred. 7. In these circumstances, I do not find any illegality in the concurrent finding recorded by both the appellate authorities so as to interfere with the same in this revision petition. 8. No question of law is involved in this revision petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed in limine.

... ... ... ... ..... ms aggregating to ₹ 1,07,98,905/- for the period from 22.1.1997 to 30.6.1997 are barred by unjust enrichment. The prayer in the Revenue s appeal is, therefore, granted and the appeal is allowed. 7. Appeal E/3108/06 filed by the Revenue is against another order of the Commissioner (Appeals) dated 21.7.2006. The appellate authority allowed a claim for interest on an amount of duty refunded to the assessee (Rs 1,07,98,905/-). The Revenue has challenged the Appellate Commissioner’s order on the ground that the refund of duty itself is unsustainable. In this appeal, the Revenue has pointed out that the Appellate Commissioner’s order dated 12.5.2003 granting refund to the assessee is itself under challenge. 8. After hearing both sides, we allow this appeal as well inasmuch as we have already set aside the Appellate Commissioner’s order of refund of duty in an earlier part of this order. 9. All the appeals and the Cross Objection are accordingly disposed of.

... ... ... ... ..... petitioner's case that the soyabean oil belonged to the Mantora. It was the duty of the Mantora to take the goods in its custody. This was done on 13.03.2006. Had the Mantora done it earlier, the vehicles could be released earlier. This, indicates the fault lies with the Mantora; 16. In our opinion, the question whether the Department was at all liable or not, can be decided only after considering the evidence on record and writ jurisdiction is not appropriate remedy for the same. A suit for damages is the appropriate remedy. CONCLUSIONS 17 Our conclusions are as follows (a) In circumstances of the case, the writ jurisdiction is not appropriate to determine as to who is responsible or the quantum of damage; (b) The petitioner may, if they are so advised, file suit for the recovery of the damages. In case, any such suit is filed, the same may be decided without being influenced by any observations in this judgment. With these observations, the writ petition is dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... has regarded this undertaking as a small industrial unit by issuing a provisional certificate, but somehow the final certificate of registration could not be issued by the department, nevertheless, the assessee had always been regarded as an SSI unit by all the departments, including excise department. We find force in the arguments of the learned AR and considering the view already taken by the respective coordinate Bench, as stated above, we hereby hold that the assessee must not be denied the claim of deduction under Section 80IA merely on this technical ground. We hereby direct the AO to allow the claim as per the law.” Since the facts of the year under consideration are identical, we respectfully following the above decision of the ITAT in assessee’s own case, direct the AO to allow the claim of the assessee under Section 80IB in accordance with law. 5. In result, the assessees’s appeal is allowed. Order pronounced in Open Court on 26th November, 2010.

Renewal of Exemption u/s 80G - Charitable institution/Status - reason for declining such request is that the assessee has received income under the head ‘Advertisements and golf tournaments income’ and it has also incurred substantial expenditure on this activity only - HELD THAT:- The certificate granted to the assessee u/s 12A treating it as charitable institution is subsisting and has not been shown to have been withdrawn till date. If it is so, then, renewal of exemption u/s 80G(5) could not be denied to the assessee. Therefore, there are no justification in rejection of the claim of the assessee unless it is shown that the charitable status granted to the assessee by the certificate issued u/s 12A has been withdrawn.
The Ld. DIT (E) is directed to grant the renewal to the assessee u/s 80G - appeal filed by the assessee is allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... ted 2-6-98 declaring that they are clearing printed sheets and the other declaration filed on 23-11-98 is in respect of pouches of papers clearing classification under Heading 4817 of the Tariff. Both the declarations were acknowledged by the Revenue. As the appellants filed the necessary declaration therefore, the extended period of limitation is not invokable merely on the ground that the appellants had not claimed the classification in respect of printed duplex board sheets in the declaration. As the appellants filed necessary declaration as provided under Rule 173B of the Central Excise Rules declaring their product and claiming specific classification, therefore, the allegation of suppression of facts with intent to evade payment of duty is not sustainable. Therefore, without going into the issue of classification, the demands are set aside on the ground of limitation. The impugned order is set aside and the appeal is allowed. (Dictated and pronounced in the open Court)

... ... ... ... ..... the period of dispute, Hon’ble Supreme Court in paras 49 & 50 of its judgment in case of Union of India v. Bombay Tyre International has held that when the goods are sold at a place other than the place of removal, the cost of transportation including insurance charges from the place of removal to the place of delivery, even if charged on average basis, would be excludible. In view of settled legal position on this issue, the Commissioner (Appeals) has correctly allowed the deduction of equalised freight and we do not find any infirmity in the portion of the impugned order, permitting the deduction of equalised freight. 6. In view of the above discussion, while the portion of impugned order permitting deduction of equalised freight is upheld, the portion of the order permitting deduction of cost of packing is set aside and on this point, the order-in-original passed by the Assistant Commissioner is restored. The Revenue’s appeal is, thus, partly allowed.
