Anjaneyulu, J.1. In this reference under s. 256(1) of the I.T. Act, 1961 (for short 'the Act'), the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal referred the following question of law for the opinion of this court : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the principles of valuation adopted by the Appellate Tribunal are sound in law, particularly in view of the fact that the assessee himself valued the property for the purpose of wealth-tax as on January 31, 1957, at Rs. 2,50,000 justifying the same on the ground that the building was under rent control and the property not having been released throughout ?' 2.

Pamarthy Veeraswamy Vs. the Collector (Co-operation), Chilakalpudi and ...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-18-1984

Reported in: AIR1986AP134

P.A. Choudary, J.1. The Nuzvid Agricultural Development Bank, Nuzvid is a Co-operative Society. Its managing committee consisting of 11 members in all was elected by the General Both on 6-11-1981. The elections to those bodies are rarely held on principles of co-operation. The 11 members of the Managing Committee were divided into two warring factions. The division was of course based on no principle. Both the majority and the Minority were equally anxious to manage the funds and the affairs of the society. As a part of this internal strife raging among the Directors defection were organised. The minority succeeded. Seven directors of the minority group were joined by the defecting two of the majority group and had together resigned their membership as Directors of the Managing Committee. This was on 21st September , 1983. The idea was to create a stalemate in the administration of the affairs of the Society. The idea had succeeded.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-18-1984

Reported in: [1986]61STC208(AP)

Anjaneyulu, J.1. This tax revision case is filed against the consolidated order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal dated 24th September, 1979. The assessee is a dealer in the purchase of paddy and sale of rice. The assessee purchased paddy within the State of Andhra Pradesh and, after converting the same into rice, sold the resultant rice in the course of inter-State trade. Before the Commercial Tax Officer, the assessee claimed that he is entitled under section 15(c) of the Central Sales Tax Act for the reduction of the amount of tax paid on the purchase of paddy within the State. The Commercial Tax Officer accepted the contention of the assessee and allowed the reduction. The Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes revised the orders of the Commercial Tax Officer holding the view that section 15(c) of the Central Sales Tax Act does not contemplate reduction of tax where the rice is sold in the course of inter-State trade or commerce. Against the order of the Deputy Commissioner of C...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-16-1984

Reported in: [1988]68STC198(AP)

Y.V. Anjaneyulu, J.1. This tax revision case is filed against the order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal dated October 30, 1981, affirming the assessment made by the Commercial Tax Officer rejecting the assessee's claim that excise duty of Rs. 32,895 did not constitute part of the sale price and is therefore not includible in the turnover. The Tribunal also affirmed the estimate of gross profit at 35 per cent on the excise duty and the inclusion of the same in the turnover assessed finally. A few facts may be stated to appreciate the matter in dispute. The assessee is a dealer in liquors. The assessee imported liquor from Bangalore.
