K. RAMAMOORTHY J. - I have had the benefit of reading the draft judgment prepared by my learned brother. I am really elated at the way in which he could put the factual matrix and the law in very sweet and esoteric language. My learned brother had been unique in this respect. I have always been admiring his gift of the gab. I derived immense solace and comfort while working with him. He provoked my thinking and prompted me to proceed on the right track which enabled me to have a hang of the matters. I am spellbound, as it were, and I am in entire agreement with all that he has said. I now proceed to express my views in the Pan Indian fashion.All law is an experiment, as all life is an experiment as stated by Justice Holmes of the United States of America. The Government of India made an experiment by introducing Chapter XX-C in the Income-tax Act, 1961, with effect from 1986, but the Supreme Court in Gautam (C. B.) v. Union of India : [1993]199ITR530(SC) held that no doubt the Governme...
