Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-25-1959

Reported in: AIR1959All785; [1959]10STC294(All)

Bhargava, J.1. The Judge (Revisions), Sales Tax, U. P. had referred the following two questions for opinion to this Court:'1. Whether Clause (ii) of the Expl. II to Section 2(h) of the U, P. Sales Tax Act is ultra vires the Legislature? 2. Whether in the admitted circumstances of the case, the applicants would be liable to pay tax in respect of the sales of oils and soaps in the year 1948-49 from their depot at Calcutta.' When we heard learned counsel on this reference, our attention was drawn to a number of decisions of the Supreme Court in various cases in which the provisions of the various Sales Tax Acts in India came up for consideration before the Supreme Court. It appears to us that it is not necessary to refer to these cases and that it is sufficient to refer to only a single case in which the Supreme Court has given its latest decision on a point which was identical with the point which arises in the present reference. That decision of the Supreme Court is in Tata Iron and Ste...

Lakshmi Chand Vs. Regional Transport Authority, Agra and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-25-1959

Reported in: AIR1959All782

O.H. Mootham, C.J. 1. This is an appeal from an order of Mr. Justice Tandon dated 8-8-1.958. The appellant is the holder of a stage carnage permit under which he is entitled to ply a stage carriage on the Mathura-Etah route. That route is about 72 miles long and in 1947 the number of stage carriages which were permitted to ply on it was four. In 1947 a decision was taken by the Regional Transport Authority to allow nine stage carriages on this route, but it appears that in fact permits were granted only to seven. Then by a resolution dated 6-12-1954 the Regional Transport Authority, Agra, decided to increase the number of stage carriages permitted to ply on this route to eleven. Nothing however was done to implement this resolution until 29-12-1956, when the Regional Transport Authority invited applications for four new stage carriage permits, the granting of which would bring the total number of stage carriages to eleven. This invitation was published in the U. P. Gazette on 5-1-1957....

Ram Padarath Singh Vs. Kishori Lal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-23-1959

Reported in: AIR1960All481

ORDERM.C. Desai, J.1. It was pleaded on behalf of the applicant that the order passed by the Sessions Judge, Sultanpur restoring possession over the plots to the complainant is against the provisions of Section 522, Cr. P. C. on account of there being no evidence of any use, or show, of criminal force and because the order was passed more than a month after the date on which the applicant was convicted. I do not; find any substance in this plea. There is evidence that the applicant dispossessed Kishorilal by force or show of force. A trial Court can pass an order under Section 522, Cr. P. C.; either while convicting the accused or within one month of the date of conviction; an appellate Court can pass such an Order even though more than a month has expired since the, conviction. The power conferred by Sub-section (3) upon, an appellate Court is same as the power conferred upon a trial Court by Sub-section (1), but the limitation imposed by Sub-section (1) on the exercise of the power b...

Lalloomal Dalal Vs. Income-tax Officer, Kanpur

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-23-1959

Reported in: AIR1959All775; [1959]36ITR397(All)

V. Bhargava, J.1. By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, the petitioner seeks the issue of a writ of certiorari to quash a notice of demand dated 25-3-1958, which included the demand for a sum of Rs. 7265-11-0 levied upon the petitioner by way of interest under Section 18A(6) of the Income-tax Act. This demand is challenged on two grounds: The first ground urged by learned counsel for the petitioner was that initially the notice of demand for payment of advance income-tax under Section 18A(1) of the Act was void in law because the demand in that notice was based on the last completed assessment of the assessee but in that demand his income from two firms of which he was a partner was taken to be the same as had been included in his last completed assessment and there was no substitution for that amount of the share of his income as calculated on the basis of subsequent completed assessments of those firms.This ground clearly fails for three reasons. The first reason is...
