... ... ... ... ..... er it fair and appropriate to set aside the order of the ld. CIT(A) and restore the matter to his file for deciding the aforesaid issues, afresh in accordance with law in the light of various judicial pronouncements, including those referred to above and of course after allowing sufficient opportunity to both the parties. Needless to say that while redeciding the appeal, the ld.

... ... ... ... ..... ny such step was taken by the Board. The Board itself has chosen not to issue any direction to the acquirer to come out with a public offer under section 11(1) but decided to initiate adjudication proceedings and levied penalty. While deciding the quantum of penalty, the stand taken by the Board in its interpretive letter dated April 2, 2009 issued to Suryajyoti Spinning Mills Ltd. and the order dated August 28, 2008 passed by the adjudicating officer in the case of Jamnalal Sons Private Limited can definitely be considered as other mitigating factors. We are, therefore, of the considered view that in the facts and circumstances of the case, ends of justice would be met by reducing the penalty to ' 10 lakh. We order accordingly. In the result, while upholding the order of the adjudicating officer on the issue of violation / contravention of the provisions of regulation 11(1) read with regulation 14(1) of the takeover code, we reduce the penalty to ' 10 lakh. No costs.

... ... ... ... ..... District Judge, Latur in the light of the judgment passed in the Civil Appeal Nos.5316-5318/2012 (@ SLP© Nos. 26049-51/2011). In the light of our above conclusion, we do not find any necessity to traverse from the various other submissions made in the written submission of the respondent. 20. In the light of the decision in C.A.Nos.5316-5318/2012(@ SLP (C) Nos.26049-51/2011) and in the light of the fact that after the order of remittal passed in Civil Revision Application No.424 of 1987 dated 06.05.2011, the Rent Control Proceeding having been concluded before the Rent Controller, it will have to be held that SLP (C) No.23457/2011 has to be dismissed as having become infructuous. Accordingly, while C.A.Nos.5316-5318/2012(@ SLP (C) Nos.26049-51 of 2011) stand allowed with specific directions as regards the Rent arrears payable by the respondent, the Special Leave Petition No.23457 of 2011 stands dismissed as having become infructuous.

... ... ... ... ..... after, they had altercation with the deceased and the deceased was strangulated by the accused persons and then his body was disposed of by cutting it into pieces and packing the same in gunny bags and abandoning the same at a deserted place near the Barrackpore Dum Highway. Thus, all these acts obviously were in furtherance to the common intention of doing away with the deceased, if he failed to give them ₹ 40,000/- as demanded. The offence was committed with common intention and collective participation. The various acts were performed by different accused in presence of each one of them. In other words, each of the accused had common intention. Thus, we find that the argument on the application of Section 34 Indian Penal Code advanced on behalf of the accused is without any substance. 66. For the reasons afore-stated, we see no reason to interfere with the judgment of the High Court either on merits or on the quantum of sentence. Therefore, the appeals are dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... o such enhanced income.” 7. In the case of CIT Vs. Allied Industries 229 CTR 462, the Hon’ble Himachal Pradesh High Court held that “the addition was made to the income of the assessee and had been assessed under the head of profits and gains of business. Since the entire profits of the business are entitled for 100% deduction, the addition on account of such discrepancy will only result in the enhancement of the income of the business and would be entitled for such deduction.” 8. Since the finding of the CIT(A) that the assessee is entitled to deduction u/s 80IB on the enhanced profit is in consonance with the law laid down by various benches of ITAT and High Courts (supra), we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) and, hence, the order of the CIT(A) is hereby confirmed and the grounds raised by the revenue on this issue are dismissed. 9. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Pronounced in the open court on 27th July, 2012.

In the light of the principles mentioned above, inasmuch as Respondent No. 2-the Complainant has filed an affidavit highlighting the stand taken by the Appellant (Accused No. 3) during the pendency of the appeal before this Court and the terms of settlement as stated in the said affidavit, by applying the same analogy and in order to do complete justice under Article 142 of the Constitution, we accept the terms of settlement insofar as the Appellant herein (Accused No. 3) is concerned. 11. In view of the same, we quash and set aside the impugned FIR No. 45/2011 registered with Sanand Police Station, Ahmedabad for offences punishable Under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420 and 120-B of Indian Penal Code insofar as the Appellant (Accused No. 3) is concerned.

... ... ... ... ..... of the statute by reading into it as allowing a document aged 29 and one- half years to be open to the law's presumption. The Judgment of the High Court below has considered the issue of this document's eligibility under Section 90, and repudiated this submission, the document not even, echoing the words of Section 90, "purporting" to be thirty years old at the time of tendering. We hasten to add that even if the document purported or proved to be thirty years old, the Appellant would not axiomatically receive a favourable presumption, the Section 90 presumption being a discretionary one. 13 While clarifying law as we have striven to do above, since the Gift Deed in question was tendered in evidence five months prior to having become thirty years old, the Appeal is devoid of merits. The Appellant did not even attempt to prove the Gift Deed in any manner known in law. 14 The Interim Order is recalled. The Appeal is dismissed but we desist from imposing costs.

... ... ... ... ..... tion of the sale deed in 1975 and also as regards the claim of adverse possession by the Defendant no.1 do not seem to be perverse or unwarranted. It is not a case where the findings were erroneous being contrary to the mandatory provisions of law applicable or was based on inadmissible evidence or was arrived at without evidence. Therefore, this Court sitting in second Appeal would not interfere with the aforesaid concurrent findings of facts. Further, the substantial question of law raised by the appellant in the present second appeal regarding the requirement of examining the scribe or the attesting witnesses to a disputed document has been already settled by a decision of this Court as well other High Courts which do not require any reconsideration and decided accordingly holding the execution of the sale deed in question to have been proved. 33 In view of the above, this Court is of the view that present second appeal is devoid of merit and accordingly, stands dismissed.

If not, then Assessing Officer shall examine and decide afresh as to whether these expenses are capital or revenue.

... ... ... ... ..... the appeal could not be preferred to the Tribunal. Regarding the arguments of the learned DR that the assessee has not produced any evidence that the vehicle in question was used for the purpose of business of the assessee and has not produced its log book before the AO or before the CIT(A), we find that in case the vehicle was used for non-business purpose of the assessee, suitable disallowance could be made out of the vehicle running expenses. But so far as the claim of depreciation is concerned, since the ownership of the vehicle was with the assessee-company and the vehicle was put to use during the relevant period, the claim of depreciation on the vehicle was allowable to the assessee-company, and accordingly the disallowance of ₹ 50,260/- being depreciation on the car is deleted and the Ground No.1.1 of the assessee’s appeal is allowed. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order pronounced in Open Court on the date mentioned hereinabove.

... ... ... ... ..... at Rao) that he can be dispossessed only by recourse to law is not applicable to the facts of the present case. Viewing from any angle, the lower appellate Court has grossly erred in disagreeing with the finding of the trial court and in reversing the same in respect of the plaintiffs possession and enjoyment of the suit property on the basis of Ex.A3. 23. Thus, for the discussion held above, though the substantial questions of law (1) and (2) originally framed and the additional substantial questions of law (1) to (3) are answered in favour of the defendants, in view of the findings of this court upon Ex.A3 family arrangement, which answers the additional substantial question of law (4) against the plaintiff, the judgment and decree of the lower appellate court is liable to be interfered with.

Possession (allegedly) of assets disproportionate to known sources of income - offences punishable U/s 13(2) r/w Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 (PC Act) - Validity of FIR Lodged by CBI - the Petitioner is aggrieved of second FIR being No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. It is also clear that the Petitioner has assailed the said FIR on the ground that there was no direction by this Court in its order dated 18.09.2003 which could have empowered the CBI to lodge two FIRs.
HELD THAT:- the 'compilation', we are satisfied that this Court being the ultimate custodian of the fundamental rights did not issue any direction to the CBI to conduct a roving inquiry against the assets of the Petitioner commencing from 1995 to 2003 even though the Taj Heritage Corridor Project was conceived only in July, 2002 and an amount of ₹ 17 crores was released in August/September, 2002. The method adopted by the CBI is unwarranted and without jurisdiction. We are also satisfied that the CBI has proceeded without proper understanding of various orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003, 18.09.2003, 25.10.2003 and 07.08.2003 passed by this Court. We are also satisfied that there was no such direction relating to second FIR, namely, FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003.We are satisfied that there was no such finding or satisfaction recorded by this Court in the matter of disproportionate assets of the Petitioner on the basis of the status report dated 11.09.2003 and, in fact, the Petitioner was not a party before this Court in the case in question. From the perusal of those orders, we are also satisfied that there could not have been any material before this Court about the disproportionate assets case of the Petitioner beyond the Taj Corridor Project case and there was no such question or issue about disproportionate assets of the Petitioner. In view of the same, giving any direction to lodge FIR relating to disproportionate assets case did not arise. CBI is not justified in proceeding with the FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003.
we hold that in the absence of any specific direction from this Court in the order dated 18.09.2003 or any subsequent orders, the CBI has exceeded its jurisdiction in lodging FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. The impugned FIR is without jurisdiction and any investigation pursuant thereto is illegal and liable to be quashed, accordingly quashed. The writ petition is allowed.
