R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. For the four assessment years 1974-75 to 1977-78, the income of the assessee was grossed up and tax levied thereon by the Income-tax Officer. That mode of calculation was found to be erroneous by the Tribunal. It held that there was no material before the authority from which it could be said that the salary paid to the assessee who was a nurse employed by the American Madura Mission of the United Church Board for World Ministries and who had served at the Christian Medical College Hospital at Vellore had been granted tax-free income by her employers. The assessee was a national of the United States and a nurse by profession.

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The common question referred in these tax cases which relate to the three assessment years 1970-71 to 1972-73 is, 'as to whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the reassessments made under the Wealth-tax Act for the assessment years 1970-71 to 1972-73 are invalid in law and should therefore be cancelled ?'2. The reassessment for those years came to be made on the basis of a report given by the audit party to the Assessing Officer, and in the order of reassessment made on October 30, 1976, the Wealth-tax Officer has stated, inter alia, in the assessment order, that 'at the time of the audit of the record, the Revenue audit pointed out the resultant inadequacy in the intrinsic value of the unquoted shares due to excess deduction of liability over and above what is contemplated under Explanation II(ii)(e) of Rule 1D of the Wealth-tax Rules, 1957'.3.

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The question referred to us at the instance of the Revenue in respect of the assessee's assessment for the assessment year 1976-77 is as to whether on the facts and in the circumstances, the Appellate Tribunal was correct in holding that the assessee-company was entitled to the relief under Section 80HH in respect of its business which also comprised of business activities other than manufacturing one 2. The Tribunal has held that the assessee had established its manufacturing business after December 31, 1970, and that the assessee had maintained necessary profit and loss account from which relief to be computed under Section 80HH was ascertainable. The Tribunal after observing that the only reason as to why the Income-tax Officer did not grant relief to the assessee, was that the ascertainment of income from the manufacturing and other activities was not possible the assessee being also engaged in construction activity and the profit and loss being one for both...
