The plaintiff, the Tuticorin Trading and Credit Corporation Private Ltd. is the appellant in the present second appeal. 3.

The defendant raised mainly two defences viz., that he did not subscribe to the chit transaction and that the suit was barred by limitation.

T.V. Sundaram Iyengar and Sons Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-09-1998

Reported in: [2000]241ITR420(Mad)

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The assessee has petitioned the court to call for the reference of four questions which have been proposed by the assessee. The assessment year is 1987-88. The first question proposed by the assessee concerns the correctness of the order of the Tribunal in adopting the annual value as noted in the municipal register as the annual value of the property owned by the assessee. The annual value in the municipal register is really of no material relevance for determining the annual value ; for the purposes in case of buildings situated in cities and in other areas where the rent control legislation is in force, it is only the determination made in accordance with the provisions of the rent control law that is to be regarded as the amount that the landlord can reasonably expect to receive from the tenant of the building owned by him. The assessee did not further any valuation (sic). The Tribunal was not bound to accept the entry in the municipal register as representi...

ORDERS.S. Subramani, J.1. Both these revisions are filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the order of the Election Tribunal which dismissed the Election Petitions. C.R.P.NO.1730 of 1998 arises from Election O.P.No. 12 of 1996, and C.R.P.No. 1761 of 1998 arises from Election O.P.No. 73 of 1996, on the file of Principal District Judge, Tiruchi. In Election O.P.No. 12 of 1996, petitioner wanted to declare the election of the 1st respondent therein who was declared elected as Chairman to the Panchayat Union Council of Veppanthattai, as invalid.
