ORDERK. A. Swamy, C. J.1. In these two writ petitions, the petitioners have sought for issue of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to forbear from levying and demanding any market fee in respect of cotton, which has been stored without processing in the petitioners' mills for more than 30 days, or, in respect of the rejected cotton and returned to the Up-country cotton seller. It is contended on behalf of the petitioners that the Textiles Commissioner, under the provisions of the Cotton Control Order, 1986, has permitted the petitioners to store cotton for over a period of 30 days.

Mishra J.1. After hearing learned counsel for the Revenue, we are constrained to observe that the Revenue has made an unnecessary exercise before the Tribunal for making a reference of a question which does not appear to arise in the case and before us in the instant case which has remained pending for more than a decade and it has been placed for hearing us only now. 2.

C. P. Nos. 140 and 141 of 1980 under section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'), and this court directed, in the said proceeding, the Tribunal to refer the question to it for determination whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in law and had valid material to hold that the claim f...

Mishra, J.1. The Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Madras Bench 'D', has referred under section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the following two questions : '(1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and having regard to the provisions of section 37(3) read with rule 6B of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, the Income-tax Officer was not correct in disallowing Rs. 2,750 and Rs. 6,188 being the advertisement expenses (2) Whether the Appellate Tribunal's view that the provisions of section 40A(3) alone should be applied to the assessee's case and not rule 6B(3) to regulate advertisement expenses is sustainable in law ?' 2. Since the two questions overlap and when we see the statement of the case, we are of the opinion that the questions aforementioned should be addressed in all aspects of the scheme of the law on the subject of deduction of expenditure in computing the income chargeable under the head 'Profits and gains of business or profession', we propose to first not...

Reported in: I(1995)ACC323

Srinivasan, J.1. There is no error in the finding of the Tribunal that the accident occurred on account of the rash and negligent, driving of the appellant bus. The appellant denied the accident in question. The claimant has given evidence as P.W. 1. Another eyewitness has given evidence as P.W. 4. According to their version, when the claimant was about to board into the bus, the conductor gave the whistle and the driver started the bus rashly at great speed, with the result the claimant fell down and got injured. It is admitted that the tip-sheet and the log sheet maintained by the conductor and the driver would show the accident or the absence thereof. The have not been produced in this case. No explanation was offered before the Tribunal.
