Allowable expenditure - section 10(2) - revenue expenditure or capital expenditure ... ... ... ... ..... or the purpose of the assessee s trade. The finding of the Tribunal is that the roofs of the godowns and the dye-houses had become very old and they had caved in. It was, therefore, necessary for the assessee, in order that it might carry on its business of manufacture of tents, durries, etc., to ensure that the godowns and dye-houses were kept in a usable condition. Here, the assessee did no more than that and it follows, therefore, that the expenditure was incurred by the assessee for the purpose of its business and for no other consideration. We would, therefore, answer the question in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee. The amount of Rs. 15,774 expended by the assessee is allowable as a business expenditure for the assessment year 1958-59 and Rs. 10,466 is allowable as an expenditure of the business for the assessment year 1960-61. The assessee will get costs of this reference from the Commissioner of Income-tax, U.P., Lucknow. We assess such costs at Rs. 200.

Review application - power to rectify order ... ... ... ... ..... recall and cancel an invalid order is not simply permitted to, but is the duty of, a judge, who should always be vigilant not to allow the act of the court itself to do wrong to the suitor. It would be a serious injury to the suitor himself to suffer him to attempt to execute an inoperative order. It is not necessary to multiply authorities. It appears to us that the law is well settled that a court as a tribunal has inherent jurisdiction to rectify a wrong committed by itself when that wrong causes prejudice to a party for which that party is not responsible. We are not mentioning the authorities on which Mr. Gopal Behari has placed reliance because none of the cases that he has cited are those where the court had to act in order to undo a mischief which had been committed by its own act to the detriment of a party without that party being responsible for it. We are satisfied that the view taken by S. C. Manchanda J. is correct. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal with costs.

Agricultural Land ... ... ... ... ..... t, and subsequently when they realised that it was not agricultural land, then they assessed tax on this land also. Regard being had to the different interpretations which have been put to the meaning of the expression, agricultural land , and also other circumstances which I nave discussed above, the department cannot be held to have erred in making assessment in this land also when it transpired that this land was also subject to assessment of wealth-tax. On a consideration of the entire set of circumstances aud the legal aspects of the matter, the question which has been referred by the Tribunal is answered in the affirmative to the effect that, on the facts and the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the disputed land was not agricultural land at the relevant date for the purposes of the Wealth-tax Act. This reference is thus disposed of but, in view of the circumstances of the case, no order for costs is made. S. C. MISRA C.J.- I agree.

Estate Duty Act, 1953 - property - leviability of estate duty ... ... ... ... ..... nd to do even in any ex parte assessment. Ex parte assessment also was not justified in the peculiar circumstances of the case. If I had come to a different conclusion in regard to the liability of the successor mahanth to estate duty holding that he could not claim exemption, I would have considered this contention with reference to the following cases which have been brought to our notice Abdul Qayum and Co. v. Commissioner of Income-tax Tribune Trust v. Commissioner of Income-tax Dhakeswari Cotton Mills Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income-tax Seth Nathuram Munnalal v. Commissioner of Income-tax State of Kerala v. C. Velukutty Surajmal Champalal v. Commissioner of Income-tax Madupalli Anjaneyulu and Co. v. State of Andhra Vuddagiri Kanakaraju and Sons v. Andhra State. In the result, therefore, the order of estate duty passed in this case must be quashed as unsustainable. The application is accordingly allowed and the reference is answered in the negative. WASIUDDIN J.- I agree.
