Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-19-1980

Reported in: (1980)17CTR(All)57; [1980]124ITR55(All)

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. The petitioner is an assessee. He carries on exclusively export trade. For the assessment years 1969-70 and 1970-71, the assessee forgot to make a claim under Section 35B of the I.T. Act, 1961, for export markets development allowance. No claim for this allowance was made in the return filed by the assessee for either of the two years. In due course, the ITO completed the assessments. The assessee felt aggrieved and filed an appeal. The same was disposed of by the AAC. Still aggrieved,he went up to the Tribunal, Before the Tribunal one of the pleas raised on behalf of the assessee was that the ITO was in error in not allowing the export markets development allowance. The Tribunal repelled this plea on the ground that it does not arise out of the orders passed by the authorities below. It, however, added that if so advised, the assessee could move the authorities by way of rectification and the ITO will do the needful in accordance with law. It appears that an app...

(xxxii) of s. 5(1) of the Act for certain other matters. She filed a revision u/s 25(1) of the WT Act before the CWT, Allahabad.

This claim was repelled by the Commr. as follows : "Under s. 5(1)(xxxii) interest from those firms only are exempt which are Industrial Undertakings.

Commissioner, Sales Tax Vs. Chand Stores

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-18-1980

Reported in: [1981]48STC417(All)

R.R. Rastogi, J.1. This is the Commissioner's application in revision under Section 11(1) of the U. P. Sales Tax Act. For the assessment year 1969-70 the assessment was made under Rule 41(5) of the U. P. Sales Tax Rules on 25th March, 1975. The turnover of pullovers, cardigans, etc., was taxed at 3 per cent. Subsequently it was found that the turnover of these goods was taxable at 6 per cent and hence proceedings were taken under Section 21 of the Act. A notice was issued to the assessee as required and after affording an opportunity to him the turnover of woollen goods was subjected to tax at 6 per cent. The assessee's appeal having failed, he filed a revision before the Additional Judge (Revisions), Sales Tax, Kanpur Range I, Kanpur. The learned revising authority has taken the view that action under Section 21(1) could not be taken if assessment had been made at a rate lower than that at which the turnover was assessable prior to 1st March, 1973, and hence he quashed the reassessmen...

Rahat Ali Vs. Daya Shankar and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-15-1980

Reported in: AIR1980All300

ORDERN.D. Ojha, J.1. A suit for ejectment and arrears of rent was instituted against the applicant by opposite parties 1 and 2 in the court of Second Additional District Judge acting as Judge Small Causes. The defence of the applicant was struck off as contemplated by Order 15, Rule 5, C. P. C. and on the basis of the evidence produced by the opposite parties, the suit was decreed. This revision under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act challenges the said decree.2. It was urged by the counsel for the applicant that the defence of the applicant was erroneously struck off, I, however, find myself unable to agree with this submission. It was a Small Cause Court suit and it appears from the order of the Additional District Judge that 5th December, 1978 was the first date fixed in the case and the applicant put in appearance on that date. Instead of filing his written statement and complying with the requirements of Order 15, Rule 5, Civil P. C. the applicant took several a...
