Burden Of Proof ... ... ... ... ..... y to pay tax in respect of a transaction of gift made by him and the burden of proving facts which entitled him to the exemption lay upon the respondent. We are unable to agree that the question as to the liability or otherwise of the respondent to pay the tax could be determined by the departmental authorities and the Tribunal without even looking at the deed of gift. We direct that the Tribunal be called upon to submit a supplementary statement of case and annex therewith the deed of gift dated February 3, 1960, executed by the respondent in favour of the children. After the supplementary statement is received by this court the appeal will be placed for hearing. Mr. Pal on behalf of the respondent has contended that the appellant should be called upon to pay the costs of this hearing, because it is on account of the laches of the appellant that this adjournment is necessitated. We do not think that at this stage we would be justified in passing any order relating to costs.

Gift Tax Act, 1958 - determining the total value of the gift u/s 6 ... ... ... ... ..... g to an interest therein or easement thereon, such right or obligation may be enforced against a transferee with notice thereof or a gratuitous transferee of the property affected thereby, but not against transferee for consideration and without notice of the right or obligation nor against such property in his hands. This is a registered document. In that view of the matter and reading the document as a whole, it seems to us that the document is capable of being construed either as onerous gift liable to be defeated by non-payment by the donee of Rs. 20,000 or as an obligation arising out of contract annexed to the ownership of this property. Viewed in either way, this will certainly affect the market value of the property gifted. In that view of the matter, we are of opinion that the Tribunal was right in arriving at the conclusion against the revenue. In the premises the question is answered in the affirmative. Commissioner to pay costs of this reference. DEB J.--I agree.

Leviability of penalty u/s 28(1)(c) ... ... ... ... ..... ge from the Tribuual s order and the passage shows that the Tribunal approached the problem from the point of view that in the earlier decision the Tribunal was influenced by the unsatisfactory explanation of Faqir Chand s deposit, which deposit had no relevance in the relevant year. It is possible that my decision on facts may have been different. It is equally possible that if I were sitting as a court of appeal I may have come to the same conclusion. But the factual controversy is not before me. What calls for my decision is whether the Tribunal could on facts come to the conclusion to which it did. I need say no more than this that the Tribunal s view on facts is a possible one, namely, that the moneys were taxed in the hands of the assessee on the footing that his explanation was not correct. In this view, I must answer the question in the negative and in favour of the assessee. In the circumstances of the case, however, I will leave the parties to bear their own costs.

Unabsorbed depreciation - carry forward ... ... ... ... ..... e its cost to him at the time of partition, whether mentioned in the partition deed or ascertained aliunde. and expressed dissent with the view taken by the Nagpur High Court in Mohta s case. A partner is owner of the entire partnership assets. As held by the Tribunal, the valuation of the property was not notional but real and that was the basis for allocating properties to different partners. Adjustment was made by payment of Rs. 4,35,000 in cash by the assessee to the other partner with a view to equalising their shares. In the circumstances, the cost of the property to the assessee on the date of the partition would be the value given to it for the purposes of allotment. My answer to the second question, therefore, is in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee subject to the correction that the sum of Rs. 6,20,000 will be read as Rs. 6,00,000. In the circumstances, I leave the parties to bear their own costs. JAGJIT SINGH J.-I agree. Reference answered accordingly.

Assessee-company - industrial Company - exemption under s. 45(d) ... ... ... ... ..... activity in pursuance of the following sub-clauses in the memorandum must be treated as ancillary and minor activity. That, in my opinion, is not the test. If a company, under its memorandum is entitled to engage in different activities, it may decide to carry on the activity contained not in the first clause but in the latter clauses. If that activity be a manufacturing activity it will not be possible to suggest in that event that the company is not engaged in manufacturing activity. As a matter of fact, the last paragraph in clause III of the memorandum provides that each of the objects clauses should be read independently. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the assessee was engaged in the manufacture, production or processing of goods or articles within the Explanation to section 45(d) and, therefore, qualified for the exemption. I would, therefore, answer the question in the negative and against the revenue. The assessee will have its costs which are fixed at Rs. 200.

Leviability of special surcharge on income from dividends ... ... ... ... ..... provided in the Schedule. It is not disputed that in the case of the assessee Paragraph A of the First Schedule of the Finance Act, 1957, applies. Under this provision of section 2(1)(a) of the Finance Act which is made subject to sub-section (3) of that section, the assessee is entitled to claim that the income-tax on his dividend income should be calculated by applying the rate or rates as prescribed in the Finance Act, 1956, but he cannot claim that the amount of income-tax so determined should not be increased by five per cent. to add the surcharge and by fifteen per cent. to add special surcharge calculated in the manner provided under the heading surcharges on income-tax in the First Schedule of the Finance Act, 1957. In our opinion, the assessing authority has rightly imposed special surcharge on the dividend income of the assessee in this case. For the reasons given above, the question referred to us is replied in the affirmative. Question answered in the affirmative.

Allowance of interest on borrowed capital ... ... ... ... ..... he capital or any portion thereof remains unpaid and interest is added and on this sum, further interest is charged, it is interest on what? When the unpaid interest has been capitalized and added to the original capital or part thereof is it still interest on such original capital or is it interest on something else? If it is interest on something else then in our opinion it does not come within the provision for allowance under clause (iv) of section 9(1) of the said Act. It is clear that in this case what has happened is that the remaining unpaid portion of interest has been capitalized and what is being claimed is interest on that. So, even though it is interest, it is not interest on such capital . In that view of the matter we are of the opinion that the decision arrived at by the Tribunal was right and the question must be answered by saying that the interest allowable was Rs. 18,000 and not Rs. 38,221. The assessee will pay the costs of this reference. DEB J.-I agree.
