Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the assessee-company is entitled to a deduction of ₹ 12,873 being the wealth-tax paid during the account year ended February 29, 1960, against the profits and gains of its business for the assessment year 1960-61 under section 10(2)(xv) of the Indian Income-tax Act ?
Held that:- In the light of the principles the amount of tax paid on the net wealth of an assessee under the Wealth-tax Act is not a permissible deduction under section 10(2)(xv) of the Indian Income-tax Act in his assessment to income-tax, for tax is imposed under the Wealth-tax Act on the owner of assets and not on any commercial activity. The charge of the tax is the same, whether the assets are part of or used in the trading Organisation of the owner or are merely owned by him. The assets of the taxpayer, incorporated or not, become chargeable to tax because they are owned by him, and not because they are used by him in the business. Appeal dismissed.

whether there was a sub-partnership between the members of the Ferozepore firm in respect of the share of Gosain Chander Bhan is not material because assuming that there was no sub-partnership, the members of the Ferozepore firm did not become partners in the assessee-firm by virtue of the relevant clause in the deed dated June 14, 1952, or otherwise. We are, therefore, satisfied that no substantial question of law arises out of the order of the Appellate Tribunal.
Counsel for the appellant submitted that as a question of law arose out of the order of the Tribunal, the High Court was bound to call for a statement of case. We are not inclined to accept this contention. Where, as in this case, the question of law is not substantial and the answer to the question is self-evident, the High Court is not bound to require the Tribunal to refer the question. In our opinion, the High Court in the exercise of its discretion under section 66(2) rightly rejected the appellant's application. Appeal dismissed.

Whether an order cancelling the certificate of renewal of registration made under section 26A of the Act by an Income-tax Officer is subject to an appeal under section 30(1) to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner?
Held that:- Under section 23(4) while the Income-tax Officer can make an order refusing to register a firm or may cancel the registration if it is already registered, under section 26A(2) he can only make an order in such manner as may be prescribed. The manner prescribed, as we have already indicated earlier, provides for three different kinds of orders to be made in the same application with the result that an order of refusal to renew a certificate and the order cancelling the certificate renewed are given the same effect, namely, refusal of the application to register. That apart, when section 30 provides for an appeal against the orders under section 23(4) and also against orders under section 26A, it has incorporated the two forms of orders embodied in section 23(4) and used a general word in providing an appeal against an order under section 26A, for the nature of the order is not described but left to be prescribed under the rules.
If so, it follows that the words " refusal to register a firm " in section 30 of the Act are wide enough to take in the orders made under rules 6A and 6B refusing to renew the registration and also cancelling the certificate so renewed. The question propounded for the High Court's decision in the affirmative. The order of the High Court is set aside and the appeal is allowed

Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the assessment of the unregistered firm was proper and legal, the two partners of this partnership having been assessed in respect of their shares of income from this partnership business ?
Held that:- A survey of the contentions raised before the departmental authorities, the Tribunal and the High Court makes that inference irresistible. The Income-tax Officer who made the assessment under challenge did not state that when the first assessment was made, the facts which had a bearing on the true relationship between the three parties were not placed, and it was not even argued before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and the Tribunal that those facts were not placed before the Income-tax Officer. Thus once the option is exercised for assessing the individual partner and including his share of profits in the firm in his assessment, it is not open to the department to assess the same income as income of the unregistered firm. Appeal dismissed.
