Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-12-2000

Reported in: [2001]249ITR343(Mad)

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The question required to be decided in this appeal is whether a court sale is subject to the provisions of Chapter XX-C of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Chapter XX-C of the Act is intended to protect the interests of the Revenue by preventing evasion of tax in property dealings.2. When a sale is effected by the court by way of public auction, the value of the property is determined by the highest bid obtained at such auction. There is no question of the property being undervalued as the sale is by public auction, and any one interested in the purchase of the properly, is permitted to come and offer his bid. The sale so effected is further subject to the approval of the court. In the event of the sale being vitiated on any of the grounds referred to in Order XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the sale is liable to be set aside.3. The object for which Chapter XX-C was enacted in the Income-tax Act is in no way relatable to the disposal of the property by the co...

ORDERR. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. Notice had been sent to the respondent by registered post acknowledgement due. The acknowledgement has not been received. That, however, does not necessarily warrant the inference that the notice has not been served. The cover has not been returned.

The Tribunal has held that despite a declaration not having been filed under Rule 57G of the Central Excise Rules, 1944 a manufacturer is entitled to claim Modvat credit.

The Tribunal is, therefore, directed to refer the following question of law, and submit a statement of case together with the relevant records and documents :'Whether the Modvat credit can be extended on inputs even in cases where the manufacturer has not made the necessary declaration under Rule 57G...
