Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-22-1981

Reported in: [1983]140ITR634(Delhi)

Ranganathan, J.1. This is a consolidated reference under the I.T. Act for the assessment years 1967-68 and 1968-69 at the instance of the assessed, M/s. Sudsons Construction Co. The assessed was a firm which was assessed as a registered firm for the assessment year 1966-67. But for the two subsequent years with which we are concerned the firm did not seek any registration or the benefit of continuance of registration but instead filed returns in the status of unregistered firms. Basing himself on these returns the ITO assessed the firm to tax as an unregistered firm for the assessment years 1967-68 to 1968-69 by orders passed on January 28, 1971. 2. The assessed filed appeals to the AAC, and, before the AAC, took up a plea for the firsts time that the assessments of the firm as such were invalid for the reason that two of the partners. Shri G. M. Sud and Shri Virender Sud have been separately assessed for each of these years and that these assessments had been completed prior to Januar...

Reported in: (1982)26CTR(Del)394; [1982]137ITR245(Delhi)

S. Ranganathan, J. (1) All these references under the Income-tax Act raise the same question. They relate to the assessments of the firm known as Indian Glass Agency for the assessment years 1971-72 to 1974-75, the relevant previous years being the financial years 1970-71 to 1973-74. As we. shall point out later, the facts relating to the first of these years and the others are slightly different and we may, to start with, take the facts set out by the Tribunal in relation to the assessment year 1971-72.(2) The assessed firm had four partners : Jai Gopal, (and his three sons) Satish Kumar, Sushil Kumar and Santosh Kumar. On 14-5-1970, Jai Gopal purported to make a gift to Deepankar, the minor son of Sushil Kumar.

Reported in: (1982)2ITD107(Delhi)

1. The assessee, a registered firm, deals in cloth and yarn on a wholesale basis. Its head office is situated at Delhi and it has a branch at Bombay. For the assessment year 1977-78, the assessment was completed on 12-10-1979 on a total income of Rs. 98,653. In this assessment a sum of Rs. 8,588 was added as extra profit in the trading account. The assessee filed an appeal on 5-12-1979 against this addition. The appeal was fixed for hearing by the AAC on 28-1-1980, but according to the AAC nobody attended before him and, therefore, the appeal was taken up on merits and decided against the assessee. The assessee's appeal is against this order of the AAC.2. The learned counsel for the assessee submitted that the order of the AAC dated 28-1-1980 was received on 19-9-1980 and the assessee was surprised that the appeal came to be decided ex parte, because no notice of hearing was received by the assessee.

Decided on: Sep-17-1981

Reported in: (1982)1ITD771(Delhi)

1. As a result of the difference of opinion between the members of the Delhi Bench 'B' who heard this appeal, the following question has been referred to me as third member under Section 255(4) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ("the Act"). Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the amount of Rs. 900 received by the assessee as City Compensatory Allowance can be assessed as income in the hands of the assessee in the years 1973-74 and 1974-75 2. The facts relevant for this controversy are that the assessee, who is an officer of the Indian Revenue Service, filed his returns of income for the assessment years 1973-74 and 1974-75, showing the city compensatory allowance of Rs. 900 received by him in Part III of the return, as being exempt under Section 10(14) of the Act.

Addl. Commissioner of Income-tax, New Delhi Vs. Indian Drugs and Pharm ...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-17-1981

Reported in: [1983]141ITR134(Delhi)

Ranganathan, J. 1. The question raised in this reference is somewhat interesting and perhaps a little novel, but we have come to the conclusion that the view taken by the Tribunal was substantially correct. The reference arises in the following circumstances. 2. The respondent-assessed, Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd.,, is a Government undertaking promoted to start the manufacture of drugs and pharmaceuticals. The assessment year in question is the year 1965-66, the corresponding previous year being the year which ended on March 31, 1965. It is common ground that during the previous year the factory building of the assessed was in the process of construction and the plant and machinery were in the process of installation. The business had not been set up and none of the units had commenced production. 3. During the previous year, the assessed had certain types of miscellaneous receipts. It supplied tender forms regarding construction and erection of plant and machinery to contrac...

Court: Delhi

Reported in: AIR1982Delhi19; 20(1981)DLT383; 1981(2)DRJ254

Sultan Singh, J.(1) This revision petition under Section 25B(8) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 (here in after called 'the Act') is directed against the order of eviction dated 25th October, 1980 passed by the Additional Rent Controller. The respondent-landlord filed an eviction petition on the ground cover (2) In this revision petition, the petitioner submits that the evidence of the respondent-landlord was recorded without administering any oath and thereforee the Controller was in error in taking into consideration the evidence so recorded. The statement of the respondent-landlord was recorded on 6th March, 1980 and it appears that no oath was administered to him. The remaining statement was recorded on 10th April, 1980 but on that date the Controller administered him the oath. Learned counsel submits that statement without oath or solemn affirmation is useless, is of no value and cannot be looked into and, thereforee, he submits that no order of eviction can be passed against t...
