Act, 1961, (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') at the instance of the Revenue, raises for our decision the following question of law : 'Whether the donation made by Swadharma Swarajya Sangha to the assessee-trust constitutes income in the hands of the assessee under section 12(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ?' 2. To lay bare the question to be decided and to highlight the limited controversy, the minimal facts may be noticed. The assessee, a charitable trust, received a donation from out of the capital funds on another charitable trust of the name of Swadharma Swarajya Sangha.

Controller of Estate Duty, Madras Vs. Estate of Late V. Guruviah Naidu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Nov-23-1982

Reported in: [1984]147ITR342(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. The question in this estate duty reference is about the manner of valuation of a partner's interest in a partnership held by the deceased at the moment of his death. 2. Unlike as in the W.T. Rules, there is no provision in the estate duty legislation which carries any express rules relating to valuation of a partnership interest. However, the presence of an express valuation formula in the law relating to wealth tax may perhaps, be explained by saying that, in wealth-tax, we deal with a live assessee who is a live partner, having a subsisting interest in an existing partnership. In such a situation, it would be essential to have the principle of valuation laid down in black and white, as it were, lest people should seek to push in the substantive doctrines of partnership law into a purely valuation question. For instance, there is the doctrine of partnership law which says that a partner, during the subsistence of his partnership, cannot put his finger on any ass...

S. Mohan, J.1. The landlord is the revision petitioner before me. He sought eviction against the respondent in respect of the first floor of the premises bearing door No. 10, 6th Street, Lake Area, Nungambakkam, which, has been let out to the respondent for residential purpose. The case of the landlord was that he was residing in a rented house and he wanted to occupy the petition premises for his own use and occupation and, therefore, the requirement is bona fide. A notice was issued on 1st December, 1978, Exhibit P-3 terminating the tenancy with effect from 31st December, 1978. In spite of the same, the tenant did not comply with the demand. Hence, the petition.2. The respondent in his counter raised the following contentions. It is not correct to say that the petitioner wants to stay in his own house independently. The requirement is not bona fide. The petitioner does not require the premises under the occupation of the respondent for his own use and occupation. The respondent denie...

Reported in: (1983)34CTR(Mad)150; [1983]141ITR35(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. The assessee in this income-tax reference is a company called M/s. Simpson and Co. Ltd., Madras. It is engaged in the construction of bodies for buses, motor trucks, etc., on chassis supplied by the customers. For the purposes of this business, the assessee had purchased various items of new machinery like 1 & 3 HP Kirloskar motor, brack press and various other machines and instruments. On the cost of these items of machinery which were newly purchased and newly installed in the assessee's plant, the assessee claimed development rebate at the higher percentage granted under s. 33(1)(b)(B)(i) of the I.T. Act, 1961, read with Sch. V to that Act. The ITO, however, granted development rebate only at the usual rate and rejected the claim of the assessee for the special higher rate. The Tribunal, in appeal allowed the assessee's claim, not after an independent consideration of the claim, but merely following an earlier order in the same assessee's case, relating to an ...
