S. Nainar Sundaram, J.1. The plaintiff in the suit is the appellant in this second appeal. The respondents are the defendants in the suit. The plaintiff laid the suit for a declaration that the order of termination dated 16.9.1976 issued by the first defendant is null and void and that the plaintiff shall be deemed to be in continuous employment under the first defendant company with effect from 1.4.1977 and for an injunction against the first defendant restraining it from operating the termination order dated 16.9.1976. On contest by the defendants, the plaintiff failed with regard to the reliefs asked for in the first Court. This result, the first Court arrived at, taking note of the ratio of the Supreme Court in the pronouncement in Vaish College v.

Dinod Cashew Corporation Vs. the Deputy Commercial Tax Officer and anr ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-12-1984

Reported in: [1986]61STC1(Mad)

ORDERChandurkar, C.J. 1. A common question of law which arises in all these writ petitions is, whether the cashewnut and cashew Kernels are the same goods for purposes of section 5(3) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. These petitions can, therefore, be conveniently disposed of by a common judgment. 2. Admittedly, the petitioners in the several petitions export cashew Kernel after they process raw cashewnut purchased by them. We may take an illustrative case of the assessment of petitioners in W.P. No. 3968 of 1982. They were assessed to sales tax under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. We may briefly refer to the facts in that petition. 3. For the assessment year 1976-77 the petitioners were assessed on taxable turnover of Rs. 37,93,816.11. At the time of assessment, the purchase of cashewnut and sales turnover of cashewnut shell was found to be as follows : Rs. Ps.1st purchase of cashewnuts .... 28,54,925.24Inter-State purchase of cashewnut .... 5,19,687....

Madhavan Vs. Muniammal and ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-11-1984

Reported in: (1985)2MLJ54

ORDERNainar Sundaram, J.1.Considering the limited scope of the controversy involved, the revisions themselves are taken up for final disposal today.2. The petitioner has preferred cross-objections in regular appeals before the lower appellate Court. The cross-objection relate to the adverse finding of the trial court with reference to the adverse finding of the trial court with reference to the will marked Ex.B-43. The lower appellate Court had directed payment of court-fees on the cross-objections. Hence these revisions.3. It is well settled proposition that with reference to an adverse finding against him, the respondent in an appeal by the opposite party, can take objections to such finding in order to support the decree. Such objections though they may take the formal character of eross-objections are not cross-objections to the decree as such. Order 41, Rule 22(1),, Civil Procedure Code hereinafter referred to as the Code, amply enables the respondent, though he may not have appea...

Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Sivanandha Mills Limited

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-10-1984

Reported in: (1987)63CTR(Mad)11; [1987]163ITR61(Mad)

Ramaswami, J. 1. The following question is sought to be referred in this petition : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the incentive bonus of Rs. 1,28,837 which was made in addition to the regular bonus as per the Payment of Bonus Act should be allowed as a deduction under section 37 of the I.T. Act, 1961 ?' 2. Though we have rejected a similar question when it was sought to be referred in T.C.P. No. 554/1983 by an order dated November 26, 1984, annexed herewith (see infra), learned counsel for the Revenue, reargued the matter on the ground that really this expenditure will come under s. 36(1)(ii) of the Act and not under s. 37 of the Act and that question will have to be decided and, therefore, a reference is called for. We are unable to agree with this contention of the learned counsel. Section 36(1)(ii) has reference to bonus paid under the Bonus Act and incentive bonus or attendance bonus or customary bonus ...
