1967 (7) TMI 85 - HIGH COURT OF CALCUTTA
Compromise and arrangement, Amalgamation ... ... ... ... ..... ith the scheme. The following words appear in clause 8 Upon the approval of the scheme by the court, the existing company shall be closed. Whether the words the existing company shall be closed mean that there is a closure of the company within the contemplation and meaning of the Industrial Disputes Act is left open. Counsel for the respondents invited our attention to the fact that some dates appear in the scheme. One of the dates which appears in some clause is 30th June, 1967. Because of the pendency of the appeal that date requires modification. Counsel for the respondents submitted that the date required modification because of altered and changed circumstances occasioned by the appeal. Wherever 30th June, 1967, occurs it should read as 30th August, 1967. With these observations the scheme as sanctioned is upheld. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed. This is a case where I am of opinion that each party should pay and bear its own costs. S. K. Mukherjee J. mdash I agree.

1967 (7) TMI 84 - HIGH COURT OF KERALA
Directors - Power of ... ... ... ... ..... disapproved the management by the directors, they could remove the directors, but the general meeting could not, as the articles stood, directly interfere with the management of the business by the directors. There is no case for the respondents that any special resolution had been passed by the company in general meeting so as to constitute a valid modification of the articles of association. It has, therefore, to be held that the directors had acted fully within their powers in deciding to enforce the liability under the promissory note, notwithstanding the recommendation contained in the resolution exhibit P-10 passed by the shareholders at their general meeting. The view taken by the lower appellate court that the board of directors had no authority to override the decision of the general body is, therefore, incorrect. In the result, the decree of the lower appellate court is set aside and that of the trial court restored with costs here and in the court below. No leave.

Allowance of development rebate on lorries purchased ... ... ... ... ..... hough the amendment is made after the income under assessment is earned vide Maharajah of Pithapuram v. Commissioner of Income-tax and Commissioner of Income-tax v. Scindia Steam Navigation Company Ltd. The law in force on 1st April, 1960, would, therefore, govern the assessment in the present case and that law was clearly section 10(2)(vib) read with the proviso. The proviso being in force on 1st April, 1960, was clearly and indubitably applicable and by reason of the proviso no allowance could be claimed by the assessee in respect of the eight new trucks purchased during the year of account. This would appear to be clear on principle and no authority is necessary to support it. But if any authorities were needed, they may be found in Venkatachalam v. Bombay Dyeing and Mfg. Co. Ltd. and Gautam Sarabhai v. Commissioner of Income-tax. One answer to the question referred to us is, therefore, in the negative. The assessee will pay the costs of the reference to the Commissioner.

Reassessment - section 34(1)(b) - limitation ... ... ... ... ..... ent in view of the Indian Income-tax (Amendment) Act, No. 1 of 1959, arises in this case. When the Tribunal held that the reassessment fell for consideration under section 34(1)(b) and not under section 34(1)(a) there could be no occasion for considering the application of the Indian Income-tax (Amendment) Act, No. 1 of 1959. We find no reference to that question in the Tribunal s appellate order, and there is nothing to suggest that it was ever raised during the hearing of the appeal before the Tribunal. Mr. Gopal Behari submits that the reassessment was, in fact, made under section 34(1)(a) and the Tribunal was incompetent to consider it as one made under section 34(1)(p), but that again is not a question framed by the Tribunal and we must, therefore, decline to enter into it. Upon all these considerations, we are unable to accept the submissions of Mr. Gopal Behari.The assessee is entitled to his costs which we assess at Rs. 200. Counsel s fee is also assessed at Rs. 200.

Dividends deemed distributed to shareholders u/s 23A - assessability ... ... ... ... ..... ent in the taxable territories during such year, accrue or arise or are deemed to accrue or arise to him in the taxable territories during such year ... Explanation 3.--A dividend paid by an Indian company without the taxable territories shall be deemed to be income accruing and arising in the taxable territories to the extent to which it has been paid out of profit subjected to income-tax in the taxable territories. Now, as we have already observed, the payment of dividend was not made by an Indian company the dividend cannot also be deemed to have accrued to the non-resident shareholder in the taxable territory in the year of declaration of the dividend. Thus fiction eclipses facts and calls for a negative answer to the question referred to this court. We, therefore, answer the question in the negative and in favour of the assessee. The Commissioner of Income-tax shall pay to the assessee the costs of this reference. K. L. ROY J.-I agree. Question answered in the negative.
