Amendment to petition ... ... ... ... ..... if he so desires, to drop allegations made in the original petition, and also he must be permitted to draw up the petition in his own way, and as long as his amended petition as a whole does not depart too far from the grounds contained in the original petition, it is immaterial if he amplifies those grounds to some extent. To what extent such amplification is permissible is a matter which will have to be decided according to the circumstances of each case in which the point arises. Some consideration of this aspect of the matter ought obviously to be given at the time when the substitution is permitted and the conditions on which it is to be permitted are decided. In the present case I do not consider that the amended petition differs in any essential matter from the original petition except for the dropping of certain personal allegations made by the original petitioner. I therefore do not see sufficient reason why the amended petition cannot be proceeded with as it stands.

Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the sum of ₹ 26,000 received by the assessee from Jupiter Pictures Ltd. is a revenue receipt assessable under the Indian Income-tax Act ?
Held that:- Reference made to section 10(5-A) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, and urged that the language of that sub-section impliedly indicated that the sum of ₹ 26,000 (rupees twenty-six thousand) was a capital receipt id unacceptable as that sub-section was obviously introduced to prevent the abuse of managing agency agreements being terminated on payment of huge compensation and to nullify the application of the decision in Shaw Wallace's case to such cases. But that sub-section does not necessarily imply that if that sub-section were not there the kind of payment referred to therein would have been treated as capital receipt in all cases. The referred question should in our opinion have been answered in the affirmative. Appeal allowed.

Whether sub-section (7-A) of section 5 of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, and the said order of transfer made thereunder are unconstitutional in that they infringe the fundamental rights guaranteed to the petitioner by articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 31 of the Constitution?
Held that:- Its partners or principal officers will have to be away from the head office for a considerable period neglecting the main business of the firm. There may be no suitable place where they can put up during that period. There will certainly be extra expenditure to be incurred by it by way of railway fare, freight and hotel expenses. Therefore the reality of the discrimination cannot be gainsaid. In the circumstances this substantial discrimination has been inflicted on the petitioner by an executive fiat which is not founded on any law and no question of reasonable classification for purposes of legislation can arise. Here "the State" which includes its Income-tax Department has by an illegal order denied to the petitioner, as compared with other bidi merchants who are similarly situate, equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws and the petitioner can legitimately complain of an infraction of his fundamental right under article 14 of the Constitution.
In the view we have taken on the construction of sub-section (7A) of section 5 and the petitioner's rights under article 14, it is not necessary for us, on this occasion, to express any opinion on the contention that the inconvenience and harassment referred to above constitute an imposition of such an interference as amounts to an unwarranted restriction on the petitioner's rights under article 19(1)(g) or a violation of his rights under article 31. Appeal allowed.

Whether a sum of ₹ 1,23,719 paid by the respondent as commission to its managing agents on account of profits of its Karachi branch can be allowed as deduction against the Indian profits?
Held that:- The appropriation, therefore, of ₹ 1,23,719 as proportionate commission in respect of the profits of ₹ 6,18,599 earned at Karachi in the profit and loss statement for that branch is not in accordance either with the terms of the managing agency agreement, or with the rights of the respondent under the law. Appeal dismissed.
