The Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. N.S.S. Investments (P) Ltd.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-13-2005

Reported in: [2005]277ITR149(Mad)

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. Heard the counsel for parties. The question referred to us is as follows:-'Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law in holding that the profit on sale of shares to the extent of Rs.43,93,175/= is to be treated as capital gains instead of as business income, as adopted by the Assessing Officer?'2. The finding of fact recorded in para 15 of the order of the Tribunal is that the shares in question were never treated by the assessee as stock-in-trade and they were held for earning dividend only. A company can hold some shares as stock-in-trade for the purpose of doing business of buying and sale of such shares, while at the same time it can also hold some other shares as its capital for the purpose of earning dividend income. Here the shares in question were held as the assessee's capital and not as stock-in-trade. Hence, there would be capital gain and not business income. Hence, we answer the question referr...

T. Soundararajan Vs. the Director General of Police,

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-13-2005

Reported in: (2005)3MLJ12

ORDER1. Pending writ petition, the writ petitioner had an interim order in his favour in W.P.M.P. No. 18390/2004, which was an ex parte order. The said order came to be vacated at the instance of the Government, which filed W.V.M.P. No. 1475/2004. The writ appeal is directed against that order. The Hon'ble First Bench on 15.02.2005 directed the writ appeal to be posted along with the writ petition. That is how the writ appeal and the writ petition are before us. 2. The writ appeal stands admitted. With the consent of the learned counsel on either side, the writ appeal and the writ petition are taken up for final disposal. The writ petitioner, who was working as a Head Constable, was promoted temporarily on 05.12.1997 to the post of Sub-Inspector of Police (Armed Reserve), which post he was holding till 06.05.2004. It appears that during that period of his temporary office, three proceedings were initiated against him, which ended in awarding black marks in case of two misconducts and s...

Reported in: (2005)IILLJ1141Mad; (2005)2MLJ537

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. The above two writ appeals have been filed against the common order of the learned single Judge dated 6.3.2003 in W.P. Nos.16527 to 16536, 16537 to 16546, 16565 to 16574 and 16575 to 16584 of 2000. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The writ petitioners challenged their termination of service on the ground of violation of sections 25F, 25G and 25N of the Industrial Disputes Act directly by filing writ petitions in the High Court. It has been repeatedly held by this Court and by the Supreme Court that such writ petitions should not be entertained. If any one alleges violation of any of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, his remedy is to raise an industrial dispute under section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act and not to directly file a writ petition in this Court. This kind of practice of directly approaching the High Court in such matters cannot be approved or encouraged.3. In Madura Sugars Staff Union and Ors. v. Madura Sugar Mills, 200...
