Reported in: [1987]167ITR917(Mad)

Ramanujam, J.1. The assessee is a public limited company. For the assessment year 1971-72, it claimed deduction under section 80-I of the Income-tax Act, 1961, of a sum of Rs. 5,079 being the cash subsidy referable to its exports and of a sum of Rs. 1,562 being the refund of drawback duty on the ground that they are profits and gains attributable to the priority industry. The assessee claimed similar relief under section 80-I of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for the assessment year 1972-73 in relation to cash subsidy of Rs. 12,262 and drawback duty of Rs. 12,643.

Varada Iyengar Vs. Ramudu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-23-1982

Reported in: (1983)2MLJ517

ORDERV. Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. This is a case in which one Ramudu applied for remission of rent arrears from one Varada Iyengar on the footing that by reason of his being a cultivating tenant in a flood-or drought-affected area, he is entitled to relief under Tamil Nadu Act XVI of 1980 (Tamil Nadu Cyclone and Flood Affected Areas Cultivating Tenants Arrears of Rent (Relief) Act, 1980).2. Varada Iyengar opposed this claim for relief on the score that Ramudu was not his cultivating tenant.3. It appears that there were earlier proceedings between the same parties under the Tamil Nadu Act X of 1959 (Tamil Nadu Agricultural Lands (Record of Tenancy Rights) Act, 1969), concerning the inclusion of Ramudu's name in the record of tenancy rights as a cultivating tenant. The proceedings under that Act were pending before the appellate authority, while Ramudu filed his subsequent proceedings before the Revenue Court for remission of rent under Act XVII of 1980. Varada Iyengar accordingly filed an ...
