Commissioner of Income-tax/Wealth-tax Vs. V. Ranganatham Chetty

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-23-1999

Reported in: [2000]242ITR676(Mad)

1. The Tribunal has rightly taken note of the supplementary deed, by which the right given to the assessee by the earlier deed was modified and right of the assessee in the property at door No. 15, Govindappa Naicken Street, George Town, Madras, was confined to the first floor of the building. The Tribunal as also the Commissioner have disagreed with the view of the Income-tax Officer that notwithstanding the supplementary deed the entire property should be assessed in the hands of the assessee. In our view, the Income-tax Officer was in error in ignoring the supplementary deed, the genuineness of which is not in question.2. We do not find any error in the view of the Tribunal that full effect should be given to the deeds in terms of which the assessee acquired the right to enjoy the property and extent to which he was permitted to enjoy the property. The Tribunal and the Commissioner have also taken note of the fact that the income from the ground floor of the building was being asses...
