Rate applicable for determining the tax chargeable on the trustees ... ... ... ... ..... dvocate-General was not in a position to point out any such provision to us. It must, therefore, follow that if the amount actually received by Kalpana was rightly excluded from the total income of the trustees for the purpose of chargeability to tax, it must also likewise be excluded from the total income for determination of the rate. The Tribunal was therefore in error in coming to the conclusion that the balance of the income of Rs. 3,977 was chargeable to tax in the hands of the trustees at the rate applicable to a total income of Rs. 6,977. The rate at which tax was liable to be charged was the rate applicable to a total income of Rs. 3,977 which was the total income chargeable to tax in the hands of the trustees. Our answer to the question referred to us therefore is in the negative. The rate at which tax was liable to be charged to the trustees was the rate applicable to a total income of Rs. 3,977. The Commissioner will pay the costs of the reference to the assessee.

Dismissal of appeal as time barred - Whether the appeals were rightly dismissed ... ... ... ... ..... y, which the Tribunal could well have taken note of. The Tribunal instead of appreciating the facts felt content by merely saying that there were no reasons at all for the delay. There is another matter on which there was some little debate before us. It relates to the procedure to be followed by the Tribunal in view of section 33(2A). Whether, where an appeal is presented out of time, the question of condonation should be heard and disposed of by a petition after notice of the same to the other side or eventually in the appeal itself is a matter to be decided with reference to the language of section 33(2A). On the facts of this case and having reference to the particular frame of the question referred to us, we do not propose to decide that question. We answer the question in favour of the revenue but with no costs. It is obvious that the effect is that the Tribunal will have to take the appeals as having been admitted and proceed to dispose of them in accordance with law.

Dissolution of firm - Interest on borrowed money - allowability as deduction ... ... ... ... ..... ision. We are in complete agreement with that interpretation of section 10(4)(b). It was then argued that the borrowings made in Bombay for which Rs. 66,644 was paid by way of interest were borrowings made for the assessee and not for the Bombay concern and that, therefore, the assessee was entitled to the allowance claimed. The Bombay concern was an independent one. It had ceased to be a part of the assessee s business by July 15, 1957. There is nothing to indicate that the assessee had either expressly or impliedly authorised the Bombay concern to borrow money on behalf of the assessee. Therefore, it has to be taken that the borrowings made by the Bombay concern were for its own sake and not for the assessee. For the reasons mentioned above we answer the question that has been referred to us in the negative, that is, in favour of the department and against the assessee. We make no order as to costs. A copy of this judgment shall be sent to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal.

Lease money - allowable as revenue expenditure u/s 10(2)(xv) of Indian Income Tax Act, 1922 ... ... ... ... ..... estion was a capital expense. That case proceeded on its own peculiar facts. Suffice it to say that neither the decision in Pingle Industries case nor the decision of the Lahore High Court were either discussed or considered therein. Mr, Awasthy then relied on the decision of the Supreme Court in Commissioner of Income-tax v. Scindia Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., for the contention that we should permit him to urge the contention that because the land was taken for cultivation purposes, therefore, it is an asset of an enduring nature. Again, this decision does not help the learned counsel. In that case, the new contention was implicit in the question referred. That is not so, so far as the present case is concerned. For the reasons recorded above, we return the answer to the question referred in the negative. In other words, the sum of Rs. 5,934 was an expenditure of a revenue nature and not a capital expenditure. We make no order as to costs. Question answered in the negative.

Levy of penalties on the family after its disruption - validity ... ... ... ... ..... was, speaking for the Division Bench in Subba Rao and Nageswara Rao v. Commissioner of Income-tax , held ............ that, though section 25A of the Income-tax Act makes the divided members of a Hindu undivided family jointly and severally liable for the tax payable by the undivided family there is no provision in the Income-tax Act authorising the taxing authorities to levy a penalty on the members of a family after they have become divided in respect of concealment of income of the family, and that the penalty imposed could not, therefore, be recovered from the two members after the disruption of the family. We have in more places than one pointed out that to sustain such a penalty would be to ignore totally the impinge, content and legal effect of the order recognising the partition in the family as evidenced by the deed of partition dated April 23, 1956. In the result the query is answered in the negative and in favour of the assessee with costs. Advocate s fee Rs. 250.

Section 271(1)(c) - inaccurate particulars - penalty proceedings - validity ... ... ... ... ..... isfactory nature or falsity of the explanation given by the assessee but a case where a device or a deliberate disguise was created by the assessee for the purpose of concealing the income and then failing to furnish particulars of his income derived from Messrs. Kohinoor Grain Mills Sales Depot. Under these circumstances, the decision in L. H. Vora s case cannot help the assessee and there were sufficient materials on the record of the case for the authorities levying the penalty to come to the conclusion that there was concealment of income or furnishing of false particulars by the assessee. Under these circumstances, the second contention urged by Mr. Kaji on behalf of the assessee must fail. We, therefore, answer the questions referred to us as follows Question. Answer 1. In the affirmative, but as observed above, the penalty proceedings for assessment year 1961-62 were invalid. 2. In the affirmative. The assessee will pay the costs of this reference to the Commissioner.
