ORDERK.B. Asthana, J.1. A Magistrate released the applicant on bail but before he could be actually set free from custody an application was made by the prosecution to the Sessions Judge, for cancellation of the bail. The learned Sessions Judge on the back of the application for cancellation of the bail passed an ex parte order on 1-8-74 in the following terms,:Stay operation of the bail order passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate today.2. It does not appear whether the learned Sessions Judge issued notice to the accused on the application lor cancellation of the bail. However, that would not matter in so far as the controversy which has arisen before me in this case is concerned.3. It is urged on behalf of the applicant by his learned counsel that the Sessions Judge had no power under the law to stay the operation of the bail order passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-21-1974

Reported in: [1975]35STC450(All)

Satish Chandra, J.1. These four applications arise out of a common order of the Judge (Revisions) dismissing four revisions with respect to the assessment years 1963-64 to 1966-67. The Judge (Revisions) upheld the assessment of the petitioners to tax as an importer of match-boxes. He held that at the survey, the assessee was found dealing in match-boxes, which had been manufactured outside U. P. He did not produce the purchase vouchers. In his oral statement, he admitted that he did not possess purchase vouchers, He also showed his inability to give particulars of the selling dealers. He did not maintain accounts. The Judge (Revisions) observed that the burden lay upon the assessee to show that all his purchases were from inside the State.2. The learned counsel for the assessee submitted that the question of law raised in these cases is whether the Judge (Revisions) was justified in placing the burden of proof on the assessee. In support of this contention, the learned counsel invited ...

Satish Chandra, J.1. The petitioner manufactures and sells oil as well as oil-cakes. It purchases oil-seeds after paying purchase tax on them. After extraction of oil from the seeds it sells the residue, which is oil-cake, to various dealers.2. For the assessment year 1968-69 it was, in the usual course, assessed to sales tax. The plea that the turnover of the sale of oil-cakes by the petitioner was exempt under the notification dated 31st March, 1956, as amended by the notification dated 16th July, 1956, was accepted, and this part of the turnover was exempted from sales tax.3. It appears that on or about 19th February, 1973, the Sales Tax Commissioner of this State issued a circular to all the assessing authorities indicating that oil-cakes, which are used for further extraction of oil and are not used as cattle fodder, are not exempt from sales tax. On the basis of this circular, the Sales Tax Officer issued notice to the petitioner under Section 21 of the U. P. Sales Tax Act for re...

The assessee disclosed that in the accounting year relevant to the assessment year 1966-67, it sold books worth Rs. 6,77,500 and paper worth Rs. 28,108. These transactions resulted in gross profits of Rs. 1,03,746 and net taxable profit of Rs. 54,628. On scrutiny the Income-tax Officer found the following defects in the account books maintained by the assessee:1.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-17-1974

Reported in: [1976]104ITR291(All)

H.N. Seth, J. 1. The assessee is a registered firm carrying on business of confectionery. For the assessment year 1964-65, the assessee returned an income of Rs. 40,648 (subject to depreciation). The Income-tax Officer noticed certain defects in the books and trading accounts of the assessee. Accordingly, after rejecting those books, he estimated the total income of the assessee at Rs. 62,490. In appeal, the estimate made by the Income-tax Officer was modified and the assessee's taxable income was determined at Rs. 59,050. As the total income returned by the assessee fell short of 80% of its assessed income, and minimum penalty leviable exceeded Rs. 1,000, the Income-tax Officer, after initiating penalty proceedings, referred the matter to the Inspecting Assistant Commissioner. The Inspecting Assistant Commissioner, after issuing a show cause notice to the petitioner and hearing it, concluded that the assessee had concealed and had furnished inaccurate particulars of its income and imp...
