N.N. Mithal, J. 1. This F. A. F. O. purports to be under Order 41, Rule l(r), C P. C. For the caveator Sri S.M.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-01-1988

Reported in: [1988]171ITR566(All); [1988]40TAXMAN227(All)

V.K. Khanna, J.1. The petitioners in this writ petition have challenged the order of the Appellate Tribunal dated May 11, 1987.2. Learned counsel for the petitioners has firstly raised the question that no estate duty is payable after the enforcement of the Estate Duty (Amendment) Act, 1985 (Act No. 52 of 1985). It has been urged that proceedings in respect of the finalisation of the estate duty were pending on the date of enforcement of the Act and thus the provisions of new Section 5(c) should have been applied to the case of the petitioners also.3. We have heard standing counsel of the Department also and we are of the opinion that the question raised has no substance. The newly inserted Section 5(c) only provides that the provisions of the Estate Duty Act shall cease to apply to the levy of estate duty in respect of any property (other than agricultural land) which passes on the death of any person on or after March 16, 1985. There is no dispute that the petitioners' father died mu...
