The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. K.R. and P. Shanmugavel Nadar

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Mar-08-1976

Reported in: [1977]39STC391(Mad)

V. Ramaswami, J.1. The assessee is a dealer in coconuts. For the assessment year 1963-64, he submitted a total and taxable turnover of Rs. 49,876.63. The assessing officer on the ground that the assessee had failed to produce proper accounts, rejected the accounts and assessed the turnover on best of judgment basis. He was of the view that the lease amount for the year was Rs. 33,471.86 and that an addition of 100 per cent to the lease amount would be a proper determination of the taxable turnover. Accordingly, he determined the taxable turnover at Rs. 66,943.72. The assessee preferred an appeal questioning the addition of Rs. 17,172.09. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner, agreeing with the assessing authority, held that the accounts maintained by the assessee cannot be taken as correct and complete and that, therefore, the assessing officer has rightly rejected the accounts. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner also confirmed the addition on the ground that there were details availa...

ORDERRatnavelpandian, J.1. Accused 1 and 2 in P.R.C. 11 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Sub-Magistrate, Cuddalore, have preferred this revision petition challenging the order dated 14-9-1973 passed by the learned Magistrate in Crl.M.P. No. 1135 of 1973, in the above case, concluding that the complaint given by the learned District Judge, South Arcot, Cuddalore under Section 476-A, Criminal Procedure Code, is perfectly right and not hit by Section 479-A (6), Criminal Procedure Code, and dismissing the said petition filed by the present petitioners.2. To appropriate the petition, I feel that a synopsis of the facts of the complaint, which led to the above petition, is necessary. One Smt. Sabiya Bibi, wife of one Mohamed Hanifa Sahib of Andikuppam village, Cuddalore Taluk, filed a Civil Suit in O.S.

ORDERV. Ramaswami, J.1. The assessees in this case are dealers in dyes, chemicals and paints. For the assessment year 1962-63, they were assessed on a total and taxable turnover of Rs. 77,88,952-92 and Rs. 55,00,622-48 respectively. Allowing an exemption in respect of a turnover of Rs. 22,88,330-44, later on, the assessing officer sought to revise the assessment on the ground that exemption had wrongly been allowed on a turnover of Rs. 86,516-14 on account of second sales of ammonium chloride. The assessee had purchased from Messrs. Imperial Chemical Industries (I.) Pvt. Limited the said ammonium chloride. It is not in dispute that the seller Messrs. Imperial Chemical Industries Private Limited, was assessed on the turnover relating to the sales of ammonium chloride under item 21 of the First Schedule to the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959 as the first sale in the State. The assessing officer in the re-assessment proceeding was of the view that only if ammonium chloride is sold ...

Ramalakshmi Ammal Vs. Seeniya Pillai

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Mar-05-1976

Reported in: AIR1977Mad34

1. This second appeal has been filed by 7th defendant in the suit. There are two questions which arise, viz., whether Article 61(a) or 61(b) of the Limitation Act of 1963, applies to the present proceedings, and if Article 61(b) is held to apply, whether the suit is within time.2. The facts are in a short compass. One Madathi Ammal purchased the suit property measuring 1 acre 98 cents for Rs. 800 on 15-7-1922 under Ex. B-3. She executed a usufructuary mortgage of this property in favour of her sister Meenakshi Ammal on 26-11-1928 for Rs. 500/- under Ex. B1. It was provided in the usufructuary mortgage deed that the time for redemption was by 30th Adi, 1105 M. E. (14-8-1930) and that if the mortgage was not redeemed by then, the property would become the absolute property of the mortgage. The mortgage was not redeemed by 14-8-1930 and the mortgagee Meenakshi Ammal sold the said property in 18-8-1933 to one Karuppaswami under Ex. B-4.

ISMAIL J. - The petitioner herein had settled an extent of 83.62 acres of land in favour of his wife, as per settlement deed dated November 16, 1954. After the settlement, the petitioner was paying composition, as provided for in section 65 of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Income-tax Act, 1955, instead of assessed tax. It is represented that similarly the petitioner's wife also was paying the composition amount. However, with regard to the assessment in question the Commissioner of Agricultural Income-tax in exercise of his powers under section 34 of the Act suo motu revised the order of the Agricultural Income-tax Officer and held that under the provisions of section 9(2)(a)(iii) of the Act read with the proviso to section 65(7), the lands settled on the wife were to be included in the lands retained by the petitioner herein for the purpose of calculating the composition amount.

The gross turnover of Rs. 75,56,894.89 reported by the assessees included the turnover of Rs. 24,54,389.12, which represented import transactions. In the return they did not claim any exemption in respect of this turnover on any ground or that it represented the sales in the course of import. The assessing authority disallowing certain other turnovers which were not included in the taxable turnover determined the taxable turnover at Rs. 57,77,434.12. The assessees preferred an appeal to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner disputing the liability to tax the turnover of Rs. 24,76,195, which was disallowed by the assessing authority, but did not raise any dispute relating to the turnover of...
