Controller of Estate Duty Vs. Estate of Late V. Ramaiah Sreshti

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Apr-22-1975

Reported in: [1976]104ITR195(AP)

Jayachandra Reddy, J.1. A saying goes 'the manner of giving shows the character of the giver more than the gift itself'. To this if we add that keeping something back by the donor makes it no gift, for there is no grace in the benefit that sticks to the fingers, then the rigour of Section 10 of the Estate Duty Act becomes understandable. It is the scope of this provision that falls for our consideration in the question referred by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal for our decision, which is as follows:'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the value of the properties gifted to the wife, daughter and foster-daughter was liable to be included in the principal value of the estate passing under Section 10 of the Estate Duty Act ?'2. The essential facts necessary for deciding the question may briefly be stated. One Sri V. Ramaiah Sreshti, who died on June 6, 1965, made a gift of 21 acres of casuarina tope and 5 acres of wet land to his wife. The deceased likewise gifte...
