Interest on excess advance tax ... ... ... ... ..... of the first or original assessment order for the year and not the date of the order passed consequent to the appellate order. Having regard to the second proviso to section 18A(5), no interest is payable because the instalments paid during the financial year did not exceed the tax determined by the original assessment. The Income-tax Officer is right in holding that no question of interest under section 18A(5) arises in the present case. In the circumstances, we consider it unnecessary to decide whether the application by the petitioner to the Income-tax Officer could have been considered under section 154 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. We also do not think it necessary to consider the objection of the respondents that an equally efficacious alternative remedy by way of revision application to the Commissioner of Income-tax was available to the petitioner against the impugned order of the Income-tax Officer. The petition fails and is dismissed with costs. Petition dismissed.

Estate Duty Act, 1953 - passing of property - exigible to estate duty ... ... ... ... ..... nceivable difference at all which could be taken advant. age of by the revenue to project the theory of passing of Property from one to the other, as if it changed, hands. Passing implies movement of the estate from one dying to another and means changing hands. This event has not occurred in the instant case. In the view that I take I hold that in the hands of the petitioner as accountable person, the estate in question is not exigible to estate duty under the Act as there has not been a passing of the estate in accordance with prescriptions of the Act. It, therefore, follows that, notwithstanding the f act that the petitioner has availed himself of the alternative remedy by filing an appeal before the appropriate authority against the order impugned, the challenge against the order is well-founded and the rule nisi has to be, therefore, made absolute. The writ petition is, therefore, allowed, but in the peculiar circumstances of this case there will be no order as to costs.
