1994 (2) TMI 8 - GAUHATI HIGH COURT
Addition To Income, Undisclosed Sources ... ... ... ... ..... the said authorities for arriving at such a finding. We are, therefore, of the opinion that it would be too remote and far-fetched, on the facts and circumstances of the case, to hold that the vouchers produced by the assessee were not correct and that they were fabricated evidence and, accordingly, we hold that there is no direct nexus between the facts found and the conclusion therefrom. It is settled law that tax authorities, having relied on one part of a transaction, cannot reject the other part of the same transaction. In the instant case, the expenditure shown to have been incurred by the assessee having been accepted by the income-tax authorities, there was no justification, on the facts and circumstances of the case, not to accept the receipt as disclosed by the assessee. In view of the aforesaid findings, we answer the questions of law reframed by us in the affirmative, i.e., in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue. We, however, make no order as to costs.

1994 (2) TMI 7 - GAUHATI HIGH COURT
Income Tax Act, Question Of Law ... ... ... ... ..... n the absence of the assessee. We have heard Mr. D. K. Talukdar, learned counsel appearing for the Revenue, who has strenuously taken us through the orders passed by the learned Tribunal and also the income-tax authorities. Mr. Talukdar has also submitted that the questions sought for reference to this court for its opinion are questions of law. On a perusal of the records of the case and also the three questions proposed by the Revenue, we, however, cannot agree to the submissions made by learned counsel representing the Revenue. In our opinion, the findings and conclusion of the Tribunal are pure questions of fact to the effect that the imposition of penalty in the case of the assessee was not justified. The aforesaid conclusion of facts does not give rise to any question of law. Hence, in our opinion, it is not a fit case to exercise our jurisdiction under section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and accordingly, we reject this application. We make no order as to costs.

1994 (2) TMI 6 - KERALA HIGH COURT
Assessment Order, Best Judgment Assessment, Income Tax ... ... ... ... ..... rected certain modifications as per exhibit P-7. In the aforesaid background, we do not find our way to interfere with exhibit P-7 revisional order passed by the Board of Revenue. In fact, the learned judge, it appears to us, has very anxiously considered all the points urged before him, even though the points advanced are purely questions of fact which are not normally gone into in the present proceeding. Further, the jurisdiction of the third respondent, Board of Revenue, under section 34, it appears to us, has been exercised in a reasonable and proper manner. We have no hesitation to agree with the observation of the learned single judge that the findings entered by respondents Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are neither perverse nor unsupported by any materials. We feel the conclusions arrived at by the learned single judge are sound, fair and reasonable and so they are only to be approved without any reserve. We do so. We see no merit in this writ appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed.

1994 (2) TMI 5 - MADHYA PRADESH HIGH COURT
Assessing Officer, Closing Stock, Question Of Law ... ... ... ... ..... ount. The same method was followed for the succeeding year. He started with the profit and loss account of the assessee and made an addition towards the discrepancy in the valuation of the closing stock. The profit and loss account naturally reflects the opening balance for that year. Because of the enhancement of the closing balance for the earlier year, the Assessing Officer made appropriate change on that account. In other words, the Assessing Officer started with the opening balance for the year 1976-77, as found in the balance-sheet, and made an addition of Rs. 63,880. This would clearly indicate that the opening balance had not been ignored as contended by learned counsel for the applicant. The assessee has followed the cost method for valuation of opening and closing balances. The Assessing Officer has followed the same method. In these circumstances, we are unable to agree that any question of law, as suggested, arises for consideration. The application is dismissed.

1994 (2) TMI 4 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT
Income From Undisclosed Sources ... ... ... ... ..... smissed. It is clarified that if there is no stay from the appellate authority constituted under the provisions of the Act, the respondents shall be entitled to recover the amount due from the petitioner as per the provisions of the Act. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner requests that the stay granted by the first appellate court should be directed to continue for a further period of 15 days so as to enable the petitioner to approach the Supreme Court. Both the courts below have rightly come to the conclusion that the suit is not maintainable. In fact, interim relief should not have been granted by the courts below in view of the numerous pronouncements of the Supreme Court and of this court on this point. The Income-tax Department cannot be restrained from recovering the dues after the assessment order has been passed. Granting of such relief would amount to nullifying the provisions of the Act. Therefore, the same cannot be granted and it is hereby rejected.

Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on the interpretation of section 5(1A) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law in holding that the assessee is entitled to exemption of Rs. 70,000 invested by her in National Defence Certificates and Defence Deposit Certificates in addition to the overall exemption of Rs. 1,50,000 granted to her by the Wealth-tax Officer, under section 5(1)
