... ... ... ... ..... 2, the Special Leave Petition preferred by the revenue against the order dated 23.12.2011 in respect of ITA No. 1228/2010 also came to be dismissed. 3. Since the issue of the validity of the proceedings under Section 147 has attained finality in the sense that the said proceedings have been held to be invalid by this court, and the Special Leave Petition has also been dismissed by the Supreme Court, the Tribunal was correct in allowing the appeals filed by the respondent/assessee in respect of the remand proceedings. The remand was only consequent upon the decision of the Tribunal in the earlier round to the effect that the proceedings under Section 147 of the said Act were valid. Now, those proceedings have been held to be invalid. Hence, the consequential remand proceedings would be of no consequence. As such no interference is called for with the impugned order passed by the Tribunal. No substantial question of law arises for our consideration. These appeals are dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... jurisdiction of civil court anywhere, the fact of the matter is civil court has overlapping jurisdiction in the matters wherein CLB has jurisdiction, the only thing to be tested is whether it is triable issue or an issue that could be decided on the material available on the record. The jurisdiction conferred upon CLB being limited to cases of transfer and transmission as held in between Morgan Ventures Ltd. v. Blue Coast Hotels & Resorts Ltd. 2010 98 CLA 1 (Bom.) 2010 3 Comp LJ 33 (Bom.) by the High Court of Bombay, this issue of forfeiture cannot be decided by CLB. Since it is a triable issue to be decided by the civil court, the petitioner is at liberty to approach appropriate forum on the same cause of action. 6. In the light of above discussion, at the request of the petitioner, these petitions are disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to approach appropriate forum for the same cause of action. Accordingly, CP No. 7/111/12 and CP No. 8/111/12 are disposed of.

Deduction u/s 54B - DR contended that the assessee is eligible for deduction if he has purchases the land for agricultural purpose within a period of two years after transfer of agricultural land - first objection raised by the ld. DR is concerned, the property was only transferred in December, 2008, therefore, the property purchased before that date is not eligible for claiming deduction under section 54B - HELD THAT:- This is only a hyper technical objection raised by the ld. DR, because, the assessee has received substantial amount from the purchaser before executing sale deed. So far as registration of the sale agreement is concerned, if both the parties proceeded to carry the execution of the sale as per the agreement whether it is registered agreement or not, there is no effect so far as transfer is concerned. Therefore, the case law relied on by the ld. DR is altogether on a different context and have no application to the fact of the present case. In view of the above, we find no infirmity in the order passed by the CIT(Appeals) and the ground raised by the Revenue is dismissed.
CIT(Appeals) directing the AO to give relief of 50% on the strength of fresh evidences produced - Production of Additional Evidence under Rule 46A - HELD THAT:- It amounts to violation of Rule 46A of the Income Tax Rules which elucidates that before any additional evidence is accepted, the other party has to be given an opportunity of hearing. Faced with this situation, we deem it appropriate that the matter requires re-examination by the AO. Accordingly, we restore the issue back to the file of the Assessing Officer, who shall pass a fresh order in accordance with law after affording adequate opportunity of hearing to the assessee.
Appeal of the Revenue is partly allowed for statistical purpose.

... ... ... ... ..... rder being both erroneous and pre-judicial to the interest of revenue has to be satisfied. In the case on hand, as per the facts and circumstances of the case as discussed from 3.4.1 to 3.5.2 above, we are of the considered view that the learned CIT has failed to make out a cased that the order of assessment sought to be revised under section 263 of the Act is pre-judicial to revenue. In this view of the matter, we cancel the order under section 263 of the Act passed by the CIT. 5.1. As the issue under consideration is similar to that of the issue dealt by the earlier Bench (supra), wherein it has been observed that the CIT was not justified in invoking the provisions of section 263 of the Act for the detailed reasons recorded therein, we are of the considered view that the same proposition is applicable hereto. In essence, the CIT was not justified in invoking the provisions of section 263 of the Act. It is ordered accordingly. In the result, the assessees appeal is allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... claimed by the assessee as a part of exempt income. No doubt, Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of Maxopp Investment Ltd & Ors (supra) has held that if an assessee had made a claim regarding no expenditure or some specific amount of expenditure, to have been incurred for the purpose of earning dividend income, then it was necessary for the Assessing Officer to give a finding whether the claim was correct or not. Considering all these aspects, we are of the opinion that the matter requires a fresh look by the Assessing Officer. We, therefore, set aside the orders of the authorities below and remit the issue regarding disallowance u/s 14A back to the file of the Assessing Officer for consideration afresh in accordance with law. 14. In the result, the appeal of the assessee for assessment year 2005-06 is dismissed whereas its appeal for assessment year 2008-09 is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on Thursday, the 09th of May, 2013, at Chennai.

As aforesaid, the defendant no. 2 being the owner is entitled to rents of the other floors. As far as the rent of the first floor is concerned, taking a prima facie view of the matter it is felt that undertaking of the defendant no. 2 and its Directors to in the event of the plaintiff succeeding in establishing that it was in possession of the first floor and has been forcefully dispossessed therefrom, they will reimburse the rent so earned of the first floor to the plaintiff, would sub-serve the ends of justice. The said undertaking be also filed while seeking approval of the proposed Lease Deed. 31. Needless to state that all observations made hereinabove are on a prima facie view of the matter and will have no bearing over the final adjudication in the suit. The applications are disposed of.

... ... ... ... ..... s. When the assessee has proved the fact that the source of loan was out of bid amount received from the chit and earlier repayment made to the creditors and which were deposited in the bank account of the creditors, the assessee cannot further be asked to prove the source of chit subscriptions made by the creditors. The assessee certainly cannot be asked to prove the source of source. It is also a fact to take note of that no incriminating material was found during the survey operation conducted on the assessee and the chit company which could prove the fact that the assessee was making benami investments in chits. In aforesaid view of the matter, we are of the opinion that the addition made u/s 68 of the Act as unexplained cash credit cannot be sustained. Accordingly, we uphold the order of the CIT (A) and dismiss the ground raised by the department. 20. In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue stands dismissed. Order was pronounced in the open court on 3rd May, 2013.

... ... ... ... ..... the provisions contained in the Code. As observed earlier, the magistrate need not order any investigation if he pre-supposes to take cognizance of the offence and once he takes cognizance of the offence, he has to follow the procedure provided in Chapter XV of the Code. It is also settled position that any judicial magistrate before taking cognizance of the offence can order investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code. 19. As rightly observed by the High Court, the magistrate before taking cognizance of the offence can order investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code, we are of the view that the procedure adopted and the power exercised by the magistrate in this case is acceptable and in accordance with the scheme of the Code. We are also satisfied that the High Court rightly refused to exercise its power under Section 482 of the Code. 20. In the light of the above discussion and conclusion, we find no merit in all these appeals, consequently, the same are dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... ew that there exists no ground for levy of concealment penalty in this case. Hence, penalty order is cancelled.” 6. The above paragraphs of the CIT(A) are categorical in mentioning that the Tribunal deleted the additions on merits. In fact, the ground raised by the revenue also indicates that the assessee got relief in the quantum appeal before the Tribunal. Therefore, it is reasonable be infer that the Tribunal granted relief to the assessee on merits in quantum appeal. As such there is no dispute on the issue of deletion of the said addition, which is the subject matter of the penalty. Ex consequenti, the impugned penalty levied u/s 271(1)(c) of the Act shall not survive. Considering the above factual matrix of these penalties, in our opinion, the order of the CIT (A) does not call for any interference. Accordingly, grounds raised by the Revenue are dismissed. 7. In the result, appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 10.05.2013.

... ... ... ... ..... the activity related to a particular religion or community. When the temples which are supposed to maintain by the assessee are open for general public then performing pooja or festivals in a particular manner does not change the public charitable nature of the activities to non-charitable. Even otherwise the objects of assessee trust do not specify the maintenance of any specific or particular temple belonging to a specific sampradaya and if a temple which is maintained by the assessee keeping in view all the rits and rituals being followed in the said temple as per particular sampradaya, the same would be irrelevant for the purpose of construing the objects as charitable. 2.10 In view of the above discussions as well as facts and circumstances of the case, we direct the ld. CIT reconsider the matter afresh for grant of registration u/s 12AA of the Act. 3.0 In the result, he appeal of the assessee is allowed as proposed above. Order pronounced in the open Court on 29-05-2013

... ... ... ... ..... ribunal. The learned DR submitted that although the plea of the assessee that the depreciation as per the income-tax law was not considered by the AO, and has not been adjudicated by the CIT(A), but other plea of the assessee of the commercial angle of taking loan has been duly considered by him. He relied on the orders of the AO and the CIT(A). 4. We have considered rival submissions carefully. We find that in view of the pleadings of the parties and the fact that the plea of the assessee was not adjudicated by the CIT(A), we hold that it shall be in the interest of justice to set aside the order of the CIT(A) to his file with direction to pass de novo appellate order in accordance with law after allowing due opportunity of hearing to both the parties, and to consider and adjudicate the pleas of the parties. We direct accordingly. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose. Order pronounced in Open Court on the date mentioned hereinabove.
