1968 (10) TMI 35 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT
Best assessment judgment- recovery proceedings ... ... ... ... ..... ground also becomes unnecessary to decide on the view taken by us that the entire recovery proceedings are vitiated by reason of want of service of the notice of demand on the petitioners. We may point out that in any event this ground involves determination of a disputed question of fact and we would not, therefore, in any view of the matter, entertain it in the exercise of our extraordinary jurisdiction under article 226. Moreover, the petitioners have an alternative remedy available to them under rule 11, clause (6), of the Second Schedule to the Act, We therefore allow the petition and make the rule absolute to the limited extent that a writ of mandamus shall issue quashing and setting aside the certificate of recovery forwarded by the Income-tax Officer to the Additional Collector, Bombay, as also the recovery proceedings instituted against the petitioners on the strength of such recovery certificate. The respondents will pay the costs of the petition to the petitioners.

1968 (10) TMI 30 - DELHI HIGH COURT
Diversion by overriding title - assessment of the firm ... ... ... ... ..... written consent was never set up by the revenue before the Tribunal. If we were to call for a further statement of case on this point, that would change the very nature of the question referred so much so that, if it be found that there was a written consent, the first question may not arise at all. Besides the letter mentioned above, admittedly there is nothing else on the record to show that there was a written consent. In the circumstances, and particularly the circumstance that this contention was never put forth before the Tribunal, I am not inclined to agree with Mr. Kirpal and send for a fresh statement of case. In view of my answer to the first question, the second question does not arise. So far as the third question is concerned, it must be held that the income was properly included in the assessment of the firm. The fourth question also does not, in the circumstances, arise. I answer the questions as discussed above with no order as to costs. TATACHARI J.-I agree.

Levy of additional surcharge on tax - validity ... ... ... ... ..... the States on the prescribed percentage basis. But the point remains whether the additional surcharge levied can be said to be an increase of the tax for Union purposes. In our view, where a part of the income is not chargeable to tax at all, it may be inappropriate to increase the tax, which did not exist, by the additional levy. Bat this is not such a case. The income of the assessee from its business carried on as a co-operative society was part of the total income as we have already mentioned, and it was chargeable to tax under section 4. The charge would have been laid but for the exemption provided by section 81. In such a context, we think that, though the tax, because of the exemption, is not actually levied and collected, it will not be inappropriate to regard the additional surcharge levied as an increase to the tax, which, though chargeable, is not actually levied and collected because of the exemption. The petition is dismissed with costs. Counsel s fee, Rs. 250.

Estate Duty Act, 1953 - gift - computation of estate of the deceased ... ... ... ... ..... into the partnership firm nearly 17 months after the date of the gift and even then it was held that the entire property included in the gift was liable to be included in the principal value of the estate of the deceased. In our opinion, the provisions of section 10 clearly apply in this case and the case clearly falls within the first limb of the second part of section 10 of the Act. As regards the accumulated interest referable to the sum of Rs. 30,000, in our opinion, the view taken by the Tribunal is correct because section 10 applies to that property which is the subject-matter of the gift and not the income from or subsequent accretion to that originally gifted property. We, therefore, answer the questions referred to us, as follows? Question No. Answer (1) Not necessary, in the light of our conclusions regarding section 10. (2) In the affirmative. (3) In the affirmative (4) In the negative. The accountable person will pay the costs of this reference to the Controller.
