Commissioner of Income-tax, Delhi-i Vs. Prem NaraIn Aggarwal

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-06-1981

Reported in: [1982]136ITR407(Delhi)

Kapur, J.1. The question referred to us in relation to the assessed, which is an HUF, related to the assessment year 1962-63. The question is in the following term : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, any amount was includible in the assessed-family's total income by reason of its having received rights shares of M/s. Koolaire P. Ltd. ?' 2. This question has arisen because the shares of the HUF were held in the name of Shri Prem Narain Aggarwal, as karta of an HUF, who also happened to be the managing director of M/s. Koolaire P. Ltd. The ITO had treated the amount of rights shares or bonus shares, which had come to the HUF from several companies, as being perquisites obtained by Shri Prem Narain Aggarwal within the meaning of s. 2(24)(iv) of the I.T. Act, 1961. That section states that when any benefit or perquisite, whether convertible into money or not, is obtained from a company either by a director or by a person who has a substantial interest in the comp...

(2) S. 25-B is in Chapter III-A which prescribes summary trial where the eviction is sought by the landlord u/s 14(1)(e) or u/s 14-A. Chapter III-A has an over-riding effect on the other provisions of the Act by virtue of S. 25-A Under the Transfer of Property Act a Lesser has a right to evict the lessee for any breach of the Agreement of lease.
