Reported in: [1978]115ITR236(AP)

S. Obul Reddi, C.J.1. This reference at the instance of the assessee raises the question whether Section 187 or 188 of the Income-tax Act applies. Mr. Anjaneyulu, the learned counsel appearing for the assessee, relying upon the Full Bench decision of this court in Addl, Commissioner of Income-tax v. Vinayaka Cinema : [1977]110ITR468(AP) contended the Section 187 does not apply to a situation where a firm is dissolved by the operation of law on account of the death of one of the partners, and that the fact that the partners of the dissolved firm continued the same business as before by taking in one or more partners by fresh agreement will not bring the case under Section 187 of the Act.2. The facts leading to this reference are these :Under a deed of partnership dated May 3, 1971, the firm of Messrs. Venkateswara Stone Company, Kasturpalli, came into existence with 15 partners.

Reported in: [1979]116ITR551(AP)

S. Obul Reddy, C.J. 1. The question that arises in this reference is whether the assessee is entitled to invoke in his favour Section 54 of the I.T. Act, 1961. 2. The facts giving rise to this reference are these: The assessee was one of the four brothers. They constituted a joint Hindu family.
