G.D. Gopal Vs. Cit

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-03-2002

Reported in: (2002)176CTR(Mad)466

V.S. Sirpurkar, J.The common question referred to us in these two TCs is as follows:'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in holding that the exercise of powers by the Commissioner under section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment years 1980-81 and 1981-82 was within the period of limitation ?'2. The following factual circumstances would highlight the controversy. It will be seen that section 263 of the Income Tax Act provided a limitation of 2 years from the date of the passing of the order for revising that order under that section. The amendment which was made by section 47 of the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 1984 provides now that the said limitation would stand extended and the limitation of the two years would start not from the date of the passing of the orders but from the last date of the relevant financial year. The amendment is to be found in the following words :The amended section 263(2) runs as under :...

Reported in: [2002]124TAXMAN342(Mad)

ORDERV.S. Sirpukar, J. The question referred to us is as follows :'Whether depreciation as per the Income Tax (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 1983, is to be allowed in all cases which are pending on 2-4-1983 irrespective of the assessment year involved or has it to be allowed only in 1984-85 and subsequent years ?'2. The learned counsel for the assessee very fairly makes a statement that the issue covered in this question has been decided against the assessee in the decision in Mercantile Credit Corpn. Ltd. v. CIT : [2000]245ITR245(Mad) . In that view, the question referred to us is answered against the assessee and in favour of the revenue....

ORDERS. Jagadeesan, J.1. Though the sole respondent was served through Court as early as 3.4.2002 and through the lower Court' counsel, none appeared for the respondent. 2. The petitioners filed O.S.No.526 of 1999 on the file of the Additional District Munsif, Namakkal for declaration of their title and for consequential injunction. The (2)respondent herein was served with the summons in the suit giving the date of hearing as 7.12.2000. The respondent did not appear in the suit and ultimately, on 7.12.2000, they were set ex parte. The other defendant in the suit appeared and contested the claim of the petitioners. Evidence was taken and after arguments were heard, the suit was listed for judgment on 21.9.2001. On that day, the respondent herein filed I.A.No.1042 of 2001 for setting aside the order dated 7.12.2000 setting the respondent herein ex parte.

Sakthivel Vs. Kandasamy

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-02-2002

Reported in: (2002)2MLJ719

ORDERS. Jagadeesan, J.1. The revision has been filed against the order of dismissing the application for amendment. The petitioner is the plaintiff in O.S. No. 33 of 1998 on the file of the Sub Court, Karur which suit was laid for specific performance. Pending the suit, the petitioner filed LA. No. 588 of 2001 seeking amendment of the plaint for inclusion of the alternative relief of advance amount paid by him. The said application was dismissed by the Court below. As against the same, the present revision has been filed.2. When the amendment is sought for the inclusion of the alternative relief of refund of the advance amount, there cannot be any option for the respondent to oppose the same. In case, if the petitioner is not entitled for the relief of specific performance, naturally he will be entitled for the refund of the advance amount subject to the conditions stated in the terms of the agreement. Hence, the amendment cannot be refused on technical ground. Accordingly, the order o...

The assessment year is 1979-80. The assessee, who was liable to pay the advance tax, filed an estimate on 13-9-1978. The assessee estimated the payable amount at Rs. 14,18,506 and made the payment of Rs. 4,75,000 on 15-9-1978. It made a...
