Net Wealth, Signature, Initials, Limitation ... ... ... ... ..... ealth-tax Reference No. 43 of 1983 and question No. 4 of the other matter which have a bearing on the question of application of rule 1BB of the said Rules. The Tribunal has held that rule 1BB applied to pending assessments. The Supreme Court in a decision of CWT v. Sharvan Kumar Swarup and Sons 1994 210 ITR 886 has in the context of the said provisions of rule 1BB held that the said rule partakes of the character of a rule of evidence. The rule is procedural and not substantive and is applicable to all proceedings pending on April 1, 1979, when the rule came into force. The Supreme Court confirmed the view taken by this court in CWT v. Kasturbhai Mayabhai 1987 164 ITR 107. In this view of the matter question No. 2 of Wealth-tax Reference No. 43 of 1983 and question No. 4 of Wealth-tax Reference No. 58 of 1983 are both answered in the affirmative, against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. Both these references stand disposed of accordingly with no order as to costs.

Interest, Waiver Of Interest, Powers Of CIT ... ... ... ... ..... impugned order in S. B. Civil Writ Petition No. 1186 of 1993 the merits of waiver were not considered at all, but had been dismissed because of noncompliance with certain provisions of section 273A of the Income-tax Act. In any case, if those provisions of section 273A have been complied with fully or partially, it was a fit case where the Commissioner ought to have decided the matter on the merits. For the abovesaid discussions, in my opinion, the Commissioner has not exercised his jurisdiction rightly. I quash the impugned orders in both the writ petitions, i.e., order dated November 25, 1992, in Writ Petition No. 1186 of 1993 and annexures 11 and 12 dated February 18, 1994, and February 25, 1994 in Writ Petition No. 3450 of 1994 with a direction that the Commissioner shall decide the waiver application afresh as if the provisions of section 273A in regard to the arrangement stood complied with because of subsequent deposit of amount by the assessee. No orders as to costs.
