1969 (7) TMI 17 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT
Income from property - assessability ... ... ... ... ..... d therefore could not partake of the character of joint family property in his hands-simply because two female members entitled only to maintenance were there with him to constitute a family. The present case clearly would not fall within the principle of Arunachalam s case but would equally clearly fall within the principle of Kalyanji s case. In the view which we take it is unnecessary to go into the further question raised by Mr. Joshi on behalf of the department based on a remark of the Supreme Court dealing with the doctrine of blending in Mallesappa v. Mallappa at page 1272, column 1, that the basis of the doctrine is the existence of coparcenary and coparcenary property... or the question raised in reply to that argument whether the doctrine of blending at all applies to the facts here. We agree with the view taken by the Tribunal, though for somewhat different reasons. We answer the question raised in the negative. The assessee shall pay the costs of the Commissioner.

Firm - registration ... ... ... ... ..... 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the advisory jurisdiction of this court is confined only to matters where a question of law arises, and, in view of our finding that in the facts of the present case no question of law arose, we do not think it proper to exercise the said jurisdiction merely on account of the fact that a reference has been made under section 256(1) by the Tribunal at the instance of the assessees. Speaking on behalf of the Division Bench in Munshi Gulab Singh (R.S.) and Sons v. Commissioner of Income-tax, Mahajan J., as he then was said As I have already stated, if on facts stated no question of law arises of the question that arises is purely of an academic nature then this court is not bound to answer the question referred. In our opinion, the said view is correct and we adopt it. We, therefore, refuse to answer the question referred to this court on the ground indicated above. There will be no order as to costs of this reference. G. K. MISRA C.J.-I agree

1969 (7) TMI 15 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Excess Profits Tax Act - section 10A ... ... ... ... ..... ion 15. An order under section 10A can be passed only where the Excess Profits Tax Officer is seized of jurisdiction in a pending assessment proceeding. The main question for consideration in that reference was the competance of action under section 15 of the Act. It was found that such action was not competent. It was, therefore, held that the Excess Profits Tax Officer had no jurisdiction in the matter. In the present reference no question of jurisdiction arises. We have to answer the question which is actually before us in the instant reference. We are not concerned with the decision of the case between the parties reported as Gurbux Rai Harbux Rai v. Commissioner of Income-tax. It will be for the Tribunal to give effect to the two decisions of the court in the two separate references. We answer the question referred to this court in the affirmative, and against the assessee. The assessee shall pay the Commissioner of Income-tax, U. P., Rs. 200 as costs of this reference.

Penalty imposed u/s. 28(1)(c) of the IT Act, 1922 - validity ... ... ... ... ..... decision has been distinguished and it was rightly observed that it throws no light on the question at issue. Examined in the light of the aforesaid dictum, the Tribunal s view that the assessee concealed his income cannot be supported. In support of this view, reliance was placed merely on the decision in the assessment proceeding. The department made no endeavour to prove that there was any concealment. It is one thing to discard the explanation of the assessee in the assessment proceeding it is altogether a different thing to say that concealment has been established. The Tribunal, therefore, wrongly held that the assessee was liable to pay penalty. On the aforesaid analysis, we would answer the question by saying that, in the facts and circumstances of this case, penalty under section 28(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1922, has not been validly imposed. The reference is answered accordingly. In the circumstances, there will be no order as to costs. P. N. MISRA J.- I agree.
