The dispositions, therefore, were, in law and in fact, portions of the income of Rangachari, after the income had accrued to him and tax was payable by him at the point of accrual. Thus it cannot be said that the profits were diverted by an overriding title before they accrued to Rangachari. Appeals dismissed. - C.A. 142 OF 1960 - - - Dated:- 10-1-1961 - Judge(s) : J. L.
