United India Fire and General Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of I ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-26-1980

Reported in: [1985]153ITR81(Mad)

1. The Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Madras, has sent us a consolidated statement of the case covering many references. We believe there might be occasions when the mechanics of a consolidated reference on different questions of law covering more than one assessment of the same assessee, or covering more that one assessee on identical question of law, would be a convenient procedure for dispatch of judicial business both by the Tribunal and by the High Court and the Supreme Court. But there are occasions when a groupal reference turns out to be a positive handicap for a proper determination of the questions at issue. In our view, consolidation of cases should not be resorted to merely for their labour-saving propensity alone. The purpose of consolidation must be to ensure a better appreciation of the legal perspectives involved in the questions referred and a more satisfactory determination of the baisc principles involved in those questions than would be achieved by a case-by-case di...

M.M. Ismail, C.J. 1. This is an application for stay of collection of income-tax pending the reference in T.C. No. 1240 of 1979, relating to the assessment year 1968-69. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that from 1962 to 1967, the petitioner had been crediting the account of the educational institution with the amounts in question, that the I.T. Dept. did not raise any objection whatever, that suddenly with reference to the assessment year 1968-69, a new ITO changed in view and took the stand that the mere crediting of the account was not enough, that the amounts should have been actually paid in order to attract the exemption under s. 11 of the I.T. Act, and that, otherwise the petitioner was liable to pay the tax, and that, accordingly, the petitioner, had been subjected to tax. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the said action of he ITO is the subject-matter of a few writ petitions pending of the file of this court, as well as of the reference i...
