1974 (3) TMI 8 - CALCUTTA HIGH COURT
Best Judgment Assessment, Income Tax Act ... ... ... ... ..... ssee came to know of the same and in view of the fact that in a similar matter such application was entertained by this court and affirmed by the Division Bench we think that though there might be alternative remedy within the Act yet this will not deter this court from entertaining an application under article 226 of the Constitution in exercise of its discretion. The learned judge having exercised his discretion, in view of the facts and circumstances mentioned before, we should not interfere with that exercise of discretion. In the aforesaid view of the matter this appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. This order, however, will not prevent the revenue authority from making any assessment in accordance with law. Counsel for the assessee also conceded that there was no question of limitation in making the assessment pursuant to the notice under section 34 of the Act, which, as mentioned above, has not been set aside. PYNE J.--I agree.

Hundi Loans, Original Assessment ... ... ... ... ..... cessor on the same set of facts. In the instant case also cyclostyled reasons were produced before me. I have held in C.R. No. 3456(W) of 1969 that the Income-tax Officer is required to form his own belief. It is not enough to have the materials in his possession, but he must perform the necessary mental act of accepting such materials and information as reliable in forming the belief which could be acted upon. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, in my view the condition precedent for exercising jurisdiction under section 148 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, has not been fulfilled in the instant case and, accordingly, the said impugned notice which is annexure C to the petition dated March 30, 1970, must be set aside and all assessment proceedings initiated in terms of the said impugned notice must also be quashed. In the result this rule is made absolute. There will be no order as to costs. Let the operation of the order remain stayed for a fortnight from date.

1974 (3) TMI 6 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Company In Which Public Are Substantially Interested, Previous Year, Taxing Statutes ... ... ... ... ..... ribunal was in error in holding that the entire house was exempt under cl. (n). Section 34 deals with the aggregation of property for determining the rate of estate duty. As already seen only a half share in the residential house under cl. (n) was exempt. Clause (c) of s. 34(1) specifically provides that the interest in the joint family property of all the lineal descendants of a deceased member, in the case of a joint family property, is to be aggregated. Since only a half share in the residential house was exempt under cl. (a), cl. (c) which relates to the remaining half which belonged to the son who was a lineal descendant of the deceased, would be liable to be aggregated under cl. (c). The value of this share was validly taken into consideration by the Assistant CED for rate purposes. In the result, we would answer the question referred to us in the negative, in favour of the department. As no one has appeared on behalf of the assessee there will be no order as to costs.

Reassessment ... ... ... ... ..... 73 ITR 226 (All), Fateh Chand Jairam Dass v. CIT 1973 88 ITR 226 (P and H) and ITO v. Dwarkadas Shalt Brothers (P.) Ltd. 1974 95 ITR 527 (Cal). In the view we have taken it is not necessary for us to refer to the said decisions in detail. We must also observe that reliance was also placed on the decision in the case of Chhugamal Rajpal v. S. P. Chaliha 1971 79 ITR 603 (SC). The facts of that case were entirely different and have been discussed fully in the aforesaid Full Bench judgment of this court in Lakhmani Mewal Das v. ITO 1975 99 ITR 296. Therefore, it is not necessary for us to discuss these again. In the aforesaid view of the matter, this appeal has to be allowed and the judgment and order of B. S. Mitra J., dated the 22nd of June, 1972, are hereby set aside and the application under art. 226 of the Constitution is hereby dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. Operation of this order is stayed for a period of four weeks from this date. R. N. PYNE J.-I agree.

1974 (3) TMI 4 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Non maintenance of stock register – validity of penalty proceddings ... ... ... ... ..... Income-tax Officer relied upon the findings recorded by him in the regular assessment proceedings. There is nothing to suggest that he examined any evidence or material afresh in penalty proceedings. The question referred to us also proceeded on the basis that the earlier findings had been relied upon. Since there were no findings relevant to the question of Concealment or furnishing of inaccurate particulars, there was no question of their being relied upon. On the basis that such findings were available, the Tribunal set aside the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. In our opinion it was not justified in doing so. We would, therefore, answer question No. 3 in the negative, in favour of the assessee and against the department. In view of this answer questions Nos. 1 and 2 are merely academic. We, therefore, leave them unanswered. The assessee would be entitled to costs, which are assessed at Rs. 200. The fee of learned counsel is also assessed at the same figure.
