... ... ... ... ..... 0 TLR 488 (B) it is observed by the King's Bench Division that if an application is made under Section 32 of the Com-panics (Consolidation) Act, 1908, by summons or motion for the rectification of the register, and if there is some question in dispute requiring investigation, the practice of the Court is for the Judge not to make an order for rectification but to make an order dismissing the summons or motion and leaving it open to the applicant to bring an action. A similar view has been expressed by the Chancery Cour....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... he decision of a Full Bench of the Madras High Court in -'Venkata Rao v. Satyanarayanamurty' AIR 1943 Mad 698 (FB) (A) on which the learned Single Judge relied, and with which I respectfully agree. Order 41, Rule 22, Code of Civil Procedure permits a Respondent to support the decree appealed from on any of the grounds decided against him in the Court below. When a Respondent accepting the decision of the Court below, resists the Appellant's further claim by saying that the decree of the Court below should not b....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... bed as one of speculation like a bet or buying a ticket in a lottery. It is clear case of laying out money with a view to reap a profit. This material element has been found by the Tribunal. It is in no sense an investment because as shown above, it could not yield a regular and periodical return. That being so, we are of the opinion that there was evidence before the Tribunal on which they could arrive at the conclusion which they reached. They learned counsel for the assessee has drawn our attention, however, to a case r....... + More

With regard to the costs of the appeal, various points were agitated and it is true that the petitioners have succeeded in getting the order of the trial Court confirming and getting the order they sought against the State of Bombay. But it is equally true that on some important questions the State of Bombay has succeeded. Mr. Manekshaw is right that it is difficult to apportion time between various argument....... + More

This inclusion or deduction affects the calculation of the tax under section 17 which, in effect, merely determines the rate of tax payable on the income, in respect of which the tax is payable under sub-section (1) of section 10, as qualified by clause (....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... as practicable after the licence was terminated. There was no waste contemplated and no damage to capital was suffered. The inference must, therefore, be drawn that the amount described as premium is really a fee paid by the licensee for the privilege of prospecting for bauxite in the lands owned by the assessee. To put it differently, the amount of so called premium is in substance an advance payment of fee by the licensee. The amounts is in reality the profits derived by the assessee from the use and exploitation of his ....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... K.N. Co., and, therefore, in the application for registration under section 26A the names and the shares of the individual partners of the smaller firm M. K. N. Sons ought to have been specified. Since the assessee had omitted to specify these particulars, the requirements of section 26A were not fulfilled and the Income-tax authorities were justified in refusing registration to the firm of M.K.N. Co. That is the ratio decidendi of this case, but it has no Application to the material facts of the present case. For the reas....... + More

We are not now concerned with the legality of the actual assessment. Once an assessment under section 23(3) has become final, the basis of the levy of the penalty is finally settled. In this case there is a clear finding by the Appellate Tribunal that there was concealment of particulars in regard to the two wagon-loads referred....... + More

(16) There is no evidence that it was a term of the contract that the profits due to the non-residents should be paid at Kurnool. There is not even any material to show that the amounts in question were received by the non-residents at Kurnool, though it appears that on some occassions the amounts were remitted by Demand Drafts on the Central Bank of India, Kurnool to Sangli. On the aforesaid facts, we have no he....... + More

Thus, there is an implied basis of classification so that no question of discrimination really arises....... + More

In the view we expressed, viz., that the word tax in the proviso means the tax due, no question of jurisdiction arises, for the entire tax due was paid. If at all, there was irregularity in the exercise of jurisdiction, which, if pointed out in time, could have been rectified. The IT authorities, not having raised that objection and allowed the appeal to be disposed of on me....... + More

Any contract between the assessee firm and its employees does not take away the right of the Excess Profits Tax Officer to consider the question of the reasonableness of the payment under Section 10 (2) (x), Income-tax Act or Rule 12, Schedule I, Excess Profits Tax Act, but the mere fact that it was a voluntary payment does not by itself make it either unreasonable or unnecessary. The decision has to be made by the Excess Profits Tax Officer with reference to all the facts and circumstances and in accordance with the....... + More

As the suit is one for distribution or partition of the personal estate of the late Nawab, each one of the parties to it, whether a plaintiff or a defendant, is entitled in law to pray for determination of his or her claim to a share in the properties. Thus Quadiran Bibi will be at liberty to raise the question of the validity of her marriage with the late Nawab and the legitimacy of her children in the written statement filed or to be filed on behalf of herself or her children and these questio....... + More

But the rules were only made on 14th December, 1953, i.e., long after the order imposing penal interest was made in the instant case. Further, as we have already stated, such considerations cannot override the express provisions of the statute. A similar question was raised in Deo Sharma v. Commissioner of Income-tax, U.P. wherein the learned Judge....... + More

Their Lordships express no opinion upon the questions which would arise when the requisite percentage is not held by a single individual but only by a group, or by overlapping groups, of individuals. The appellant also argued that neither the respondent nor Sverre could be regarded as members of the public as they were directors of the company. It is clear that mem....... + More

Now there can be no doubt that biscuits are not cakes nor are they pastries or sweetmeats though they are prepared more or less in the same way as cakes and pastries as well as bread. No one will accept biscuits from a dealer when he asks for cakes or pastries and vice versa. ....... + More

It is regrettable that the learned Additional Commissioner of Com- mercial Taxes who has the same authority as that of the Com....... + More

In this view, it is not necessary to deal with the other alternative ground, namely, that if it be assumed that the Legislature has delegated to the Government the power to make rules even inconsistent with and beyond the provisions of the Act, then such delegation of legislative power is unconstitutional and invalid. It follows from our finding above that th....... + More

Commissioner of Income-tax, Madras(2) and Income Tax Commissioners for City of London v. Gibbs(3). The facts of these cases were very different, but reliance was placed on observations made to the effect that the firm was an entity by itself for purposes of assessment and was distinct from the partners. Those observations have to be read in connection with the facts of those cases. I do not find in any of these cases any observation, ....... + More
