Satish Chandra, C.J. 1. The question refers to the assessment year 1968-69. Ahsan AH Khan who had been admitted to the benefits of the assessee-partnership firm attained majority on November 18, 1967. On January 1, 1968, a fresh partnership deed was executed in which the minor Ahsan Ali Khan became a fullfledged partner. The relevant accounting period for the assessment year ended on December 31, 1967. Therefore, for purposes of this year, the position was that the minor became major on November 18, 1967, and before he could exercise the option within the given period of six months, the year ended.

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. For the assessment years 1966-67 and 1967-68, the assessee-company claimed development rebate at the rate of 20%. TheIncome-tax Officer allowed the claim but to a lesser extent. Subsequently, the assessee applied for rectification under Section 154 of the Act on the ground that it was entitled to be treated as a priority industry under Section 80-I of the Income-tax Act and, as such, entitled to a development rebate at the rate of 35%. The Income-tax Officer allowed the rectification but only in so far as the assessee was treated to be a priority industry. He repelled the claim for rebate on the ground that the assessee had not created the requisite reserve. This view was upheld in appeal. The assessee then went up to the Tribunal. The Tribunal held that the rectification proceedings are part of the assessment proceedings and hence the Income-tax Officer should have allowed the assessee an opportunity to have created a further reserve. The counsel for the assesse...
