B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. The question referred under Section 27(1) of the Wealth -tax Act, 1957, is :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the debt relating to the taxable wealth after allowing exemption under Section 5(1)(iv) of the Act was allowable to the assessee ?'2.

B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C. J. 1.

Shrimati Majjo Vs. Assistant Commissioner of Income-tax and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-23-1990

Reported in: [1991]187ITR642(All)

B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. The petitioner is challenging the validity of a notice issued under Section 281B of the Income-tax Act, 1961.2. The petitioner is not a regular assessee. Her land was acquired under a notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act on May 9, 1976. The declaration under Section 6(1) was published on June 4, 1976, and the award passed on September 5, 1984. The petitioner says that possession of land was taken on March 25, 1980. According to law, it is that date on which the property passes to the Government. The petitioner is, however, not in a position to state when she actually received the compensation. Be that as it may, it appears that she put the compensation received by her in a bank in the form of fixed deposits and in a savings bank account, namely, in the Allahabad Bank, Tejgarhi, Meerut. On December 1, 1988, the bank informed the petitioner that the said F. D. R. and S. B. account has been attached by the Assistant Commissioner of I...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-23-1990

Reported in: 1990(31)LC399(Allahabad)

1. The petitioner's grievance is that even though this Court directed on 29.5.1990 in a writ petition filed by the petitioner, that the stay application should be disposed of by the appellate authority within three weeks, the appellate authority have not disposed of the stay application so far. It is contended by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the appellate authority is Collector, Allahabad, but since no such officer is posted, the Delhi Collector has been made incharge of this office.2. The petitioner says that he approached the Appellate Collector, Delhi, who refused to pass any order on the stay application on the ground that he is already overworked.3. In the circumstances, it is directed that the stay application filed by the petitioner along with appeal shall be disposed of, if not already disposed of within three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Pending passing of such order, the operation of the order under appeal is stayed.4. The w...

Reported in: [1991]187ITR145(All)

B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. By this application, the assessee is asking the following four questions to be referred under Section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961:'1.

Whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in finding that there was real income on sticky accounts on which no interest was charged ? 3. Whether the Tribunal was justified in not considering and accepting the bona fide change in system of accounting from the mercantile to cash system on sticky accounts and charging interest on these accounts ? 4. Whether, on accounts whose operation was closed for more than three years, in view of the circular of September 1984, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in charging interest and not accepting the bona fide change of accounting from mercantile to cash on these accounts ?' 2.

Century Laminating Co. Ltd. Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-20-1990

Reported in: 1990(31)LC331(Allahabad)

1. The order impugned hereunder is that of the Assistant Collector, Central Excise, Against the said order an appeal lies to the Appellate Collector. We do not see any reason why we should entertain a writ petition directly against the order of the Assistant Collector when there is a statutory right of appeal available to the petitioner.2. The contention of the petitioner is that the Assistant Collector has declined to follow the decision of CEGAT in a similar matter. The Assistant Collector has stated that the decision of the CEGAT has not been accepted by the department and that an appeal is filed in Supreme Court. We have also seen the reasoning in the impugned order. We do not think that we can ignore the right of appeal and entertain the writ petition.3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.4. It is open to the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned order before the Appellate Authority. If he files an appeal along with the stay application, the Appellate Authority...
