Decided on: Aug-09-1996

Reported in: AIR1997AP237; 1996(2)ALD(Cri)589; 1996(2)ALT(Cri)782

ORDERP. S. Mishra, C. J.1. The issue involved in these petitions concern the state pf policing by resorting to certain methods which are allegedly abuse of the police power, by the Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada city and the District Superintendent of Police, Medak district at Sangareddy. Proceedings have started on the basis of the representations which have been treated as Writ Petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.2. Respondents have since entered appearance, filed counter affidavits, produced relevant materials and learned Advocate General has been heard in detail, besides learned counsel for the petitioners.3. One of the issues which has received serious attention of all concerned, is the attempt of the police officers to evolve some indigenous mechanism for some sort of enquiry and settlement of disputes between the complainant on the one hand and the respondent (accused) on the other hand in so-called petitions made directly to the Commissioner of Police, ...

Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Andhra Cotton Mills Ltd.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Aug-09-1996

Reported in: (1996)133CTR(AP)398; [1997]228ITR30(AP)

S. Parvatha Rao, J.This is a reference made at the instance of the Revenue under sub-section (1) of section 256 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (for short 'the Act'). The question referred for our opinion arises out of a common order of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in I.T.A. Nos. 21 and 22 (Hyd.) of 1984 dated October 5, 1984, relating to the assessment years 1980-81 and 1981-82 and is as follows : Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal is justified in upholding the orders of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) directing withdrawal of the deduction by way of depreciation allowed by the Income-tax Officer ?' As there was no representation on behalf of the respondent-assessee, we requested Mr. A.V. Krishna Kaundinya to act as amicus curiae. This is an odd case where the assessee questions the deductions in respect of depreciation allowed by the Income-tax Officer under section 32 of the Act for the two assessment years 1980-81 and 1981-82...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Aug-09-1996

Reported in: [1997]104STC44(AP)

Syed Sham Mohammed Quadri, J.1. The short question that falls for consideration in this tax revision case, filed by the State under section 22 of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales tax Act, 1957 is whether electronic calculators are assessable to tax under entry No. 12 or entry No. 38(v) of the First Schedule to the A.P. General Sales Tax Act. 2. The assessing authority assessed to tax under entry No. 12. On appeal, the Appellate Deputy commissioner confirmed the order of the assessing authority taking the view that the electronic calculators fall under entry No. 12 of the First Schedule. The assessee went in appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal took the view that the electronic calculators fall under entry 38(v) and accordingly allowed the appeal on December 1, 1988. Hence this revision. 3. The learned Special Government Pleader contends that as calculating machines are specifically dealt with under entry No. 12, therefore the Tribunal was in error in treating it...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Aug-09-1996

Reported in: [1997]104STC360(AP)

ORDERSyed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J. 1. The question that is canvassed in these tax revision cases, filed by the State, is whether purchase tax is leviable under section 6-A of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act (for short, 'the Act') on the purchase of dressed chicken. 2. The respondents are dealers dealing in dressed chicken. The assessing authority assessed the turnover of dressed chicken to tax under section 6-A of the Act on the ground that the dealers have purchased dressed chicken from unregistered dealers. On appeal by the dealers, the appellate authority took the view that exemption granted under G.O. Ms. No. 60 dated January 20, 1989 did not cover the purchase tax under section 6-A of the Act and in that view of the matter, confirmed the order of assessment. The dealers went in second appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal took the view that the exemption granted under G.O. Ms. No. 60 covers purchase tax under section 6-A of the Act and allowed the a...
