R. JAYASI1WHA BABU, J.As to whether on account of the failure of the amalgamating company to distribute the statutorily prescribed portion of the undistributed profits an order under s. 104 of the IT Act cannot be made against the amalgamated company is the question that has been referred to us at the instance of the Revenue. It is not in dispute that the charge for additional tax is created by s. 104 of the IT Act, 1961, as there is no other provision in the Act which creates a charge for tax on such undistributed profits. It is also not in dispute that the order was made within the period of limitation prescribed under the section.2. The amalgamated company is M/s TY. Sundaram Iyengar and Sons Pvt. Ltd., Madras, and the amalgamating company was M/s Sundaram Motor Private Limited. An order of amalgamation was passed by this Court in CP No. 52 of 1970, petition having been filed by the two companies on which this Court sanctioned a scheme of arrangement and amalgamation that had been p...

Court: Chennai

Reported in: 1998(1)CTC506

ORDER1. Heard. In this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration dated 3.12.1988, dismissing an appeal preferred by the petitioner under Section 18 of the Arms Act, 1959 (hereinafter called 'the Act'.) against an order passed by the Additional District Magistrate dated 21.4.1988, refusing the grant of licence to the petitioner for possessing S.B.B.L. Gun.2. It seems that the petitioner had applied for such licence in terms of Section 13 of the Act, presumably on the ground that he was having substantial agricultural properties of about 58 acres and that he was an agriculturist and more than 50 ladies worked in his fields. In short, the licence was sought for the self protection. The first authority, namely, the second respondent herein, invited reports from various authorities like Tahsildar, District Forest Officer and the Superintendent of Police and after holding the enquiry, rejected the application f...
