J.H. Tarapore Vs. Cit

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-24-2002

Reported in: (2002)176CTR(Mad)559

By the CourtThe question referred at the instance of the assessee is as follows :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is right in law in holding that the sum of Rs. 8,538 received as interest on the contract work executed by the erstwhile firm was an income liable to be taxed?' 2. Here also, we need not set out the facts as they are stated in details in pares. 4 to 7 of our judgment in Tax Case Nos. 587 and 588 of 1984. 3. The sum of Rs. 8,358 represents the interest on the amount of Rs. 9,90,426, with which we have dealt in Tax Case No. 1212 of 1987. The Tribunal held this sum of Rs. 9,90,426 to be the capital asset and hence not taxable. We have already taken a view in Tax Case No. 1212 of 1987 in respect of the same assessee that such amount cannot amount to capital receipt and must be held as revenue receipt and hence taxable. The present sum of Rs. 8,538 is only an interest included in the total amount of Rs. 9,90,426. That being the position, ...

Vinjane Centre Vs. Dy. Cit

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-24-2002

Reported in: [2002]258ITR191(Mad)

V.S. Sirpurkar, J.The substantial question of law that could be raised in this appeal is :'Whether the Tribunal's order is vitiated on account of utter non-application of mind ?'2. Learned senior counsel presses this appeal on the sole ground of non-application of mind on the part of the Tribunal. He points out that in the first seven or eight paragraphs, the Tribunal has merely quoted the contentions and counter contentions by the assessee and the department, respectively. Learned senior counsel points out that the assessee had raised as many as seven grounds. It is further submitted that the whole order is finished by the Tribunal in paragraphs 8 and 9 by merely quoting the findings recorded by the Commissioner (Appeals) in his paragraphs 11, 14, 16 and 18 to 21. Beyond certifying those findings to be correct, the Tribunal does not seem to have applied its mind at all. We do not know as to why the Tribunal has held that the Commissioner (Appeals) was correct in holding the transactio...
