... ... ... ... ..... which has been confirmed by the Tribunal by the impugned order. 4.. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties I find that the consumption of electricity as disclosed by the applicant at 7692 units has been accepted. Thus, the production has to be worked out on the basis of consumption of electricity at 7692 units. However, neither the Assistant Commissioner (Judicial) nor the Tribunal has given any basis for fixing the turnover at Rs.8,30,590. Thus the order of the Tribunal cannot be sustained and is hereby set aside. The Tribunal is, therefore, directed to redetermine the turnover of the applicant on the basis of the consumption of electricity at 7692 units. 5.. In the result the revision succeeds and is allowed. Petition allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... latitude where measures of economic and fiscal regulation are concerned. 11.. In our opinion, the decision of the Supreme Court in Arya Vaidya Pharmacy v. State of Tamil Nadu 1989 73 STC 346 (1989) 2 SCC 285 squarely applies to the facts of the present case. In that decision it was held by the Supreme Court that while it is open to the Legislature or State Government to select different rates of tax for different categories, where the commodities belong to the same class or category there must be a rational basis for discriminating between one commodity and another for the purpose of imposing tax (vide para 6) (page 350 in STC). We therefore, hold that merely because of different compositions of N.P.K. discrimination could not have been made against N.P.K. 23 23 0 sold by the petitioner. Hence, we allow the petition and direct that the respondents shall not realise tax on the sale of N.P.K. 23 23 0 from the petitioner from April 10, 1995 to March 31, 1996. Petition allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... ough that order did not suffer from any mistake in the context of the points actually raised by the applicant before him. 11.. In the result, the application is allowed in part. The seizure is held valid, but the imposition of penalty is held unwarranted. The order imposing penalty is therefore quashed. The respondents are directed to release the seized consignment forthwith. No order is made regarding costs. 12.. After the judgment is delivered, Mr. J.K. Goswami, learned State Representative, prays for liberty of this Tribunal to draw fresh penalty proceeding according to law. The other side objects to such a liberty. The question of giving liberty does not arise, because the respondents are free to take appropriate action within their jurisdiction, as the law permits and the same is not dependent on any liberty to be given by the Tribunal. Hence the prayer is not entertained because of its being unnecessary. J. GUPTA (Judicial Member).-I agree. Application allowed in part.

Detention orders - Held that:- Appeal dismissed. The petitioner had sought to contend that the order which was passed was vague, extraneous and on irrelevant grounds but there is no material for making such an averment for the simple reason that the order of detention and the grounds on which the said order is passed has not been placed on record inasmuch as the order has not yet been executed. The petitioner does not have a copy of the same and therefore it is not open to the petitioner to contend that the non-existent order was passed on vague, extraneous or on irrelevant grounds.

Whether in case of an order of detention by an officer non-communication to the detenu that he has a right of making a representation to the Detaining Authority constitutes an infraction of a valuable right of the detenu under Article 23(5) of the Constitution, and as such, vitiates the order of detention?
Held that:- Appeal dismissed. It goes without saying that even under the Maharashtra Act a detenu will have a right to make a representation to the detaining authority so long as the order of detention has not been approved by the State Government and consequently non-communication of the fact to the detenu that he has a right to make representation to the detaining authority would constitute an infraction of the valuable constitutional right guaranteed to the detenu under Article 22(5) of the Constitution and such failure would make the order of detention invalid.

Capital Gains ... ... ... ... ..... bserved that the capital gains arising out of the land are long-term capital gain while capital gains arising out of building are short-term capital gains. In the said case, the site and the building were treated as separate for the purpose of capital gains. 8. In the light of above discussion, as well as in the well established legal position CIT v. Vimal Chand Golecha 1993 201 ITR 442 (Raj.), we are of the view that though in the case of sale of land and building constructed on it as a single asset even then the site and the building are to be treated as separate for the purpose of ascertaining the capital gains in each case as long-term gains and short-term gains. Therefore, the capital gains arising on both assets have to be worked out separately. 9. By taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, we find no infirmity with the order of the CIT (Appeals) which is hereby upheld. 10. In the result, the appeal filed by the department is hereby dismissed.

Rates of interest charged by banking companies not to be subject to scrutiny by Courts ... ... ... ... ..... d down in State Bank of India rsquo s case (supra) where the Supreme Court has observed that charging of compound interest by the bank cannot be said to be excessive on the amount advanced against mortgage in view of the provisions of section 21A of the Banking Regulation Act, it cannot be said that the awarding of interest at the contractual rate to the bank is illegal. So, this revision is allowed and the awarding of interest to the bank by the Prescribed Authority-cum-Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil), Kaithal, not at the agreed rate of interest but at the rate of 6.5 per cent cannot be sustained. The bank had to be allowed the agreed rate of interest from the date of suit till realisation on the principal sum adjudged which means the amount of loan originally advanced plus the interest that accrued thereon till the institution of suit (in this case application under section 8(a)( i) of the Haryana Agricultural Credit Operation and Miscellaneous Provisions (Banks) Act, 1973).

In view of this, we are constrained to set aside the impugned order and remand the matter to the original authority for de novo consideration, who shall grant a full opportunity to the appellants to demonstrate that all these three units are independent units and that the appellant Sounderarajan was carrying out manufacturing activity and the resultant goods manufactured by him were within the exemption limit and that there was only clearance of raw material to the job workers and what was received back from the job workers was fully finished goods and were handed over to the customers. Further plea that they have received old item for repair is also required to be considered and all the aspects raised in defence have to be independently examined and detailed findings arrived at. The impugned order is set aside and the matter remanded for de novo consideration in the light of the above observation.

Winding up - Circumstances in which a company may be wound up ... ... ... ... ..... tion. Since I have already recorded above that in the facts and circumstances of the instant case, notice cannot be deemed to have been actually served on the respondent, it is, therefore, futile to proceed any further with this petition. Accordingly this petition is dismissed, as the statutory notice has not been served by the petitioner before filing the instant petition. 9. The learned counsel for the petitioner at this stage has brought to my notice that the petitioner has approached the Registrar of Companies and has been informed of the latest address of the respondent. He further states that he would now serve the notice on the respondent as contemplated under section 434 at its present address. In case the petitioner is able to effect service of the notice under section 434 upon the respondent even after disposal of this petition, it would be open to the petitioner to revive this petition by placing on record the averments of having effected service on the respondent.

Sick industrial company - Winding up of ... ... ... ... ..... ons as to advertisement, etc., have no leg to stand. 20. This proposition of law will not in any way concern with the application of mind of the Court independently in case of recommendation made by the BIFR. The two aspects are totally different from each other when the earlier one is procedural and the later one is substantial. 21. As a result whereof the appeal should fail and, accordingly, it is dismissed. However, no order is passed as to costs. This order is passed by treating the appeal as on day rsquo s list by consent of the parties and when no fruitful purpose will be served in keeping the same pending. Service of the notice of appeal stands waived. Undertaking, if any, in terms of the prayer(a) stands discharged. All formalities are dispensed with. In view of the dismissal of the appeal, connected application becomes infructuous and, accordingly, it is also dismissed as infructuous. All interim orders, if there be any, stand vacated. Tarun Chatterjee, J. - I agree.

Prospectus - Matters to be stated in - Petitioner-plaintiff ... ... ... ... ..... application, it is evidently clear that the plaintiff has rushed up to this court only to harass the first respondent and prevent it from public issue of shares, so that this company also will land in trouble. Under the circumstance, I am of the view that this is a frivolous application filed by the plaintiff only for the purpose of using the same as a lever to collect the money, since already the Debt Recovery Tribunal has passed an order restraining the first respondent from paying any money to the plaintiff. The plaintiff is not prepared to pay sufficient court fee and file a suit, but has adopted a short cut method as a test case and, as such, I am of the view that the plaintiff is not entitled to any indulgence from this court. 17. For the reasons stated above, Original Application No. 688 of 2000 is dismissed. Interim injunction already granted is vacated. Consequently, Application No. 3107 of 2000 is allowed. The first respondent is also entitled to costs of Rs. 5,000.

Consumer - Definition of ... ... ... ... ..... als, filed by the appellant, besides being barred by limitation are also devoid of substance on merits. The transaction in question is purely a commercial transaction. The appellant, in the given facts, is not a consumer within the meaning of section 2(1)(d) of the Act and the dispute being raised is not a consumer dispute within the meaning of section 2(1)(e). The complaints filed by the appellant before the District Forum, therefore, were not maintainable under the provisions of the Act. The learned District Forum, in our opinion, in the given facts, was fully justified in rejecting the complaints filed by the appellant, giving him the liberty to approach the appropriate Forum for redressal of his grievances, as he may be advised. 7. For the above reasons, the present appeals, filed by the appellant, viewed from all angles, are devoid of substance. The same merit dismissal. Accordingly, the same are dismissed in limine with no order as to costs. Appeals dismissed in limine.

Consumer - Meaning of ... ... ... ... ..... inant availed of the services of Vaisya Bank for making payment of prices of shares of Global Trust. So, we think that the complainant is a consumer he can invoke the jurisdiction of the Court to get appropriate relief. 3. Now the main prayer of the complainant is to get back the amount which he has paid to Vaisya Bank. We think that the complainant is within his right to get back the amount and the Vaisya Bank is required to pay Rs. 5,000 to the complainant together with interest at the rate 12 per cent from the date on which the cheque was encashed by it to the date of payment. In this view of the matter, we think that the appeal should succeed in part. There should be a direction upon Vaisya Bank to make payment of Rs. 5,000 to the complainant together with interest at the rate of 12 per cent from the date of encashment of the cheque till payment is made. The payment as aforesaid is to be made within a month from this date. With this observation, the appeal be disposed of.

Suspension of legal proceedings ... ... ... ... ..... Rs. 10,80,101.40. Even according to the statement of the defendant, it is a sick company and for a rehabilitation scheme, they have approached the appropriate authority and this scheme has not yet been framed. When the defendant-company is a sick company, they are not entitled to get back the amount as a matter of right. When the defendant takes advantage of the SICA, the same equally applies to the defendant also and he is also not entitled to get back the amount. Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant is entitled to get back the amount till the proceedings in the BIFR come to an end. Under the circumstances, I am of the view that the amount can be deposited in a nationalised bank under fixed deposit till the disposal of the BIFR proceedings. 11. For the reasons stated above, the application fails and is dismissed. The Registry is directed to deposit a sum of Rs. 10,80,101.40 in Indian Bank, Alwarpet Branch, under fixed deposit for a period of two years. The suit is stayed.
