HUF Property ... ... ... ... ..... rty of rupees four lakhs with the character of joint family property as on that date. Therefore, the decision reported in R. Subramania Iyer v. CIT 1955 28 ITR 352 (Mad), will not be applicable to the facts of this case. Inasmuch as on an appraisal of the facts, the Tribunal came to the conclusion that the assessee impressed his individual property with that of the character of the joint family property as on September 30, 1969, by a declaration made by him we do not want to come to a different conclusion, on a reappraisal of the same facts. Accordingly, we hold that there is no infirmity in the order passed by the Tribunal in directing the assessing authority to exclude a sum of Rs. 48,000 from the income-tax assessment and so also directing the assessing authority to exclude a sum of rupees four lakhs while ascertaining the net wealth of the assessee. In that view of the matter, we answer the questions referred to us in the affirmative and against the Department. No costs.

Therefore, the Income-tax Officer acquired jurisdiction to reopen the assessment order and the view taken by the Tribunal appears to be unjustified. In these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a statement of case be called from the Tribunal on the following questions (1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in law in holding that there was no underassessment in terms of section 17 of the Wealth-tax Act? (2) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in law in holding that the Income-tax Officer was not justified in taking action under section 17 when there was admittedly under-valuation of gold as on relevant valuation dates? Any observation made in this order will not prejudice the rights of the parties before any court or authority. All the aforesaid seven references are accordingly disposed of.
