Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-31-1987

Reported in: (1987)65CTR(All)45; [1987]167ITR415(All)

A.N. Varma, J.1. Before we deal with the questions raised at the instance of the Revenue, we may dispose of a preliminary objection raised by learned counsel for the assessee. Sri B.N. Bhatnagar, learned counsel for the assessee, submitted that in view of the fact that notice of refusal by the Tribunal under Section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act was served on the Commissioner of Income-tax on June 25, 1986, the application filed by it on January 1, 1987, was barred by limitation by six days. It was urged that the period prescribed under Section 256(2) is six months which ought to be taken as 180 days. Learned counsel placed reliance on a decision of this court in the case of CIT v. Laxmi Rattan Cotton Mills Co. Ltd. : [1974]97ITR285(All) , in support of his contention that the limitation should be calculated treating each of the six months as meaning 30 days. We are unable to agree with this contention. The decision cited by learned counsel for the assessee was in the context of Section...

Reported in: 1987(13)ECC341

ORDERA.N. Varma, J.1. Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioners, we are not satisfied that this is a fit case for interference at the stage of admission.2. By means of this petition, the petitioners have prayed for quashing of an order dated 30th September 1986 passed by the Assistant Collector, Central Excise Division-II, Kanpur disallowing the exemption claimed by the petitioners under notification No. 115/86 dated 1-3-1986 See [1986] 8 ECC St. 204 on the quantity of vegetable products manufactured out of the rice bran oil of edible grade. The order was sought to be challenged on the ground that the same was based on wrong reports as well as on the ground that the petitioners have not been afforded adequate opportunity to represent their case properly. We, however, find that the petitioners have already filed an appeal against that order before the Appellate Collector [Collector, Customs & Central Excise (Appeals) ], New Delhi and that the same is still pending.
