Commercial profits - applicability of provisions of section 23A(1) ... ... ... ... ..... into consideration the Tribunal has recorded the finding that the commercial profits available after taking into account the concealed profits amount to Rs. 1,08,950. That figure is derived by setting off the amount of the concealed profits of Rs. 2,49,809 against the loss shown by the assessee in its return at Rs. 1,40,859. The loss returned by the assessee is on the basis of the depreciation claimed by the assessee. The Tribunal has found that even if the entire amount of depreciation claimed by the assessee is taken into account the Income-tax Officer would still be justified in applying section 23A. We are not satisfied that this conclusion of the Tribunal is incorrect. In Our judgment, the provisions of section 23A(1) of the Act are attracted in the instant case. Accordingly, we answer the question referred by the Tribunal in the affirmative. The Commissioner of Income-tax is entitled to his costs which we assess at Rs. 200. Counsel s fee is assessed at the same figure.

1968 (3) TMI 19 - ANDHRA PRADESH HIGH COURT
Search and seizure - allegation that it was illegal, irregular and improper ... ... ... ... ..... vy Council in Kuruma v. Queen in which the Judicial Committee quoted with approval the following observation of Crompton J. in Reg v. Leatham It matters not how you get it (evidence) if you steal it even, it would be admissible. The learned judge held that the ratio deducible from those decisions was that irrespective of the means or the manner by which the evidence is secured, its admissibility is dependent on the question of relevancy of such evidence, and it cannot be ruled out on the mere ground that it had been procured by improper or illegal means. That, no doubt, is the correct principle and we are in respectful agreement with the learned judge. That question, however, is rather academic in this case because we have, as indicated above, reached the conclusion that the search and seizure do not suffer from any illegality, irregularity or impropriety. It follows that this writ petition. is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed with costs. Advocate s fee, Rs. 150.

Reassessment notice u/s 34(1)(a) - legallity/validity ... ... ... ... ..... ranting permission to the Income-tax Officer, F-Ward, Amristar, to take action under section 34(1)(a) against the assessee, the Commissioner of Income-tax had, by implication, withdrawn his previous order under section 5(7A) transferring the case to the Income-tax Officer, Special Circle, Amritsar. In our opinion, there is no warrant to draw any implication or inference as submitted by the assessee s counsel. On the other hand, sub-section (5) of section 64 imposes a statutory duty on the transferred authority to dispose of the assessment or reassessment in accordance with the directions of the Commissioner. The subsisting direction in this regard was issued by the Commissioner only to the Income-tax Officer, Special Circle, and we do not see how the order passed in pursuance of that direction can be said to be invalid. The answer must, therefore, be given in the negative and against the assessee. The assessee will pay the costs of this reference, which we assess at Rs. 200.

1968 (3) TMI 16 - DELHI HIGH COURT
Seizure - legality ... ... ... ... ..... e information kept in the minds of the concerned authorities but complete copies thereof are kept. On the one hand, article 19 may be construed to mean that complete restitution of property would require restitution of those copies as well. On the other hand, it may be said that, since the court or the authority has still the power to call for that information, the authority may use those copies if the information or the documents are not produced. In that situation it cannot be argued that article 19 forbids the use of such copies completely. What will be the situation if there is no power in law in the authority concerned to call for such information or documents does not arise before us and I need not consider that. I would like to make it clear that I am expressing no opinion on the impact of article 20 on the use of such information. In the circumstances, this petition fails and is dismissed but with no order as to costs. ANDLEY J. - I entirely agree. Petition dismissed.

Firm - registration ... ... ... ... ..... year, which is the same in income-tax parlance as the accounting year. How the income of an existing partnership in that year can be assessed on two different bases is hard to comprehend. In this case also if the Tribunal s decision is held to be correct, the effect would be that for the same assessment year there would be two assessments on two different bases, namely, one on the basis of a registered firm for the period 1st February to 30th September and the other on the basis of an unregistered firm for the period 1st October to 31st December. This, in our opinion, is not permissible. If the authorities below had granted registration to the firm as constituted under the instrument dated the 18th April, 1957, for the period 1st February to 30th September, 1957, there could not possibly be any objection. But in granting registration to the reconstituted firm for only a part of the accounting year, the Tribunal, in my opinion, has erred. I concur in the order made by my Lord.
