N.V. Balasubramanian, J.1. In pursuance of the directions of this court in T. C. P. No. 122 of 1991, dated September 7, 1992, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal has stated a case and referred the following question of law in relation to the assessment year 1982-83 of the assessee :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in law in holding that the provisions of Section 68 are not attracted in respect of the alleged capital contribution of Rs. 60,000 and in deleting the relevant addition while the account copy in the books of the firm shows the amount of Rs. 60,000 as cash received contrary to the explanation offered during the course of assessment proceedings ?'2.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-06-2002

Reported in: [2002]125TAXMAN52(Mad)

ORDERV.S. Sirpurkar, J. The common question referred to us for our consideration at the instance of the revenue is as follows :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, interest under section 139(8) and under section 217 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, is leviable in this case for the assessment years 1979-80 and 1980-81 since the assessments have been completed for the first time under section 147 read with section 143(3) ?'2. The learned senior counsel pointed out that though the assessee was not technically served, an intimation to his counsel was given who had undertaken to file his vakalat. However, the learned counsel today appears and says that the assessee does not want to come forward to contest the matter. Hence, the assessee shall be deemed to have been served.3. The learned senior standing counsel for the department contends that this question is covered in favour of the revenue by the judgment of this court in CIT v. S. Antony : [2000]242ITR363(Mad) , where...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-02-2002

Reported in: AIR2003Mad96

ORDERV.S. Sirpurkar, J. 1. The above mentioned three writ petitions shall be disposed of by this order. Though the details of facts differ in each petition, the sub-stratum of the challenge is identical in all the three cases. 2. All the three petitioners are vendees and they purchased some immovable property in Palghat District, Kerala. Along with that, they also purchased some immovable property situated in the State of Tamil Nadu. Needless to mention that the Sub-Registrar who registered the sale deed was the same, i.e. at Vadakancherry in Kerala State. The other property was in Salem District, Tamil Nadu and the Sub-Registrar Komarapalayam would have been the proper Sub-Registrar for effecting this transaction, but probably since the Kerala rates of registration are lower than that of Tamil Nadu, the petitioners chose to get their properties registered in Kerala State. There is no dispute that the properties were registered there. In all the three petitions, the petitioners challen...
