Sub-partnership - mode of assessment of share of partner ... ... ... ... ..... into. Moreover, this is evidence of a positive nature, whereas the evidence relied upon against the agreement is, in a sense, of a negative nature. The latter evidence is negative because what is sought to be relied upon is the absence of a reference to the agreement in the three subsequent mill-partnerships and the nature of the said joint declaration. The Tribunal was, therefore, right when it said that this evidence is overwheliming to support the contention of the two assessees that there was such an agreement. We, therefore, answer question No. 1 in the affirmative (sic). As regards question No. 2, it is really a question which would arise in the alternative to question No. 1 and only in the event of question No. 1 being answered in the negative. Inasmuch as we have answered question No. 1 in the affirmative, question No. 2 does not survive for being considered or answered and we, therefore, do not consider or answer the same. The respondent to pay the applicant s costs.

New Industrial Undertaking - entitlement to relief under section 15C ... ... ... ... ..... o be deducted therefrom in order to arrive at the taxable profits. Once again, in computing the profits or gains of the industrial undertaking, section 10 has to be applied and the taxable profits and gains have to be computed by deducting the unabsorbed depreciation referable to the industrial undertaking from the total profits and gains of the undertaking. After arriving at this figure, that portion of it which does not exceed six per cent. of the capital employed will have to be exempted from tax. It, accordingly, involves the notional deduction of the unabsorbed depreciation more than once, but in effect such deduction is effected only once in ascertaining the taxable profits of the composite business. Thus the reckoning of the profits of the new unit by the Income-tax Officer has been rightly approved by the Tribunal. In this view the question has to be answered in the negative and against the assessee with costs. Counsel s fee Rs. 250. Question answered in the negative.

Garnishee Proceedings - Protective Assessment ... ... ... ... ..... and any such notice can be issued only on a debtor of the taxpayer, namely, of Dunichand Sons and Co. By treating some other firm as the benamidar of the assessee-firm or of the partners of the assessee-firm the Income-tax Officer is not entitled to issue notices under section 226(3) on persons who might owe or hold money for and on behalf of the firm held to be the benamidar. The issue of the impugned notices do not seem to be justified by the provisions of section 226(3) and must, therefore, be quashed. In the view I have taken, it is not necessary to deal with the constitutional validity of section 226(3) and I do not express any opinion thereon. The rule would, accordingly, be made absolute. The impugned notices and all, proceedings thereunder would be quashed and the respondents Nos. 1, 2 and 3 would be directed to forbear from giving any effect to the said impugned notices. There would be no order as to costs. The operation of this order would be stayed for four weeks.

Applicability of section 23A - provisions of section 23A of the Act were applicable to the case, inasmuch as the assessee company had declared no dividends in the years in question, but the order of the Tribunal setting aside the assessments under section 23A was correct in view of its finding on the question of losses in the earlier years

IT Act Of 1922 - IT Act Of 1961 - Income escaping assessment - notice u/s 148 ... ... ... ... ..... n the instant case is likely to exceed rupees one lakh, I must hold that the decision of the Supreme Court is on all fours with the facts of the present case. Consequently, it must be held that since the right to reopen the proceedings was barred under the old Act before the new Act came into force, it could not be revived by the new Act. As such the notice under section 148 of the Act, which is impugned in the present case, must be held to be illegal and invalid and must be struck down. In the result, this application succeeds and the rule is made absolute. There will be a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the Income-tax Officer, the respondent No. 1, to forthwith recall, cancel and withdraw the notices dated the 5th March, 1966, and the 8th March, 1966, issued under section 148 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and a writ in the nature of prohibition restraining the respondents from giving effect to the notices in any manner whatsoever. There will be no order as to costs.

Inclusion of income from dividend in assessee`s total income ... ... ... ... ..... assessee had not exercised any option in the present case. This is a question of fact which cannot be permitted to be raised for the first time in this reference. It does not arise out of the order of the Tribunal, and was admittedly not raised at any stage before the income-tax authorities. Option is given by the above-quoted statutory provision to the assessee and not to the department. The assessee having exercised the option, the department had no way out except to assess the dividend income, in the income relating to the assessment year 1954-55 in the income-tax return for which year the assessee had returned the income. We are, therefore, unable to find any force in the submissions made by Mr. Awasthy. For the foregoing reasons, we would answer the question referred to above in the negative, i.e., in favour of the assessee. The costs of the assessee, which are fixed at Rs. 250, shall be borne by the revenue. MEHAR SINGH C.J. -I agree. Question answered in the negative.

Seizure - order of retention of the books and documents - validity ... ... ... ... ..... uments advanced on behalf of the revenue fail. In the result, it must be held that since the approval of the Commissioner in the present case was not communicated to the petitioner, the order for retention of the books and documents beyond the period of 180 days was not validly and properly made under section 132(8) of the Act. In that view of the matter, it must follow that there has been no valid retention of the books and documents in compliance with the provisions of section 132(8) of the Act beyond the 22nd February, 1966. In the result, this application succeeds and the rule is made absolute. There will be a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to forthwith return to the petitioner all the books, documents, papers and things seized from premises No. 62, Bentinck Street, Calcutta, 3 Bysak Dighi Lane, and 14/1, Hariram Goenka Street, Calcutta. The respondents would, however, be at liberty to proceed according to law. There will be no order as to costs.
