Bela Singh Pabla Vs. Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: May-30-1982

Reported in: (1982)1ITD370(Delhi)

1. In this appeal, filed by the assessee, aground was raised at the time of hearing of the appeal before the Tribunal to the effect that the assessment made by the ITO under Section 143(3)/147 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ("the Act"), was illegal as he had submitted a draft assessment order under Section 144B to the I AC and completed the assessment in accordance with the directions issued by him. According to the assessee, the provisions of Section 144B are not applicable to an assessment made, pursuant to the provisions of Section 147.Considering the controversial nature of this contention, and the fact that certain Benches of the Tribunal have also accepted such a contention in certain cases, and also the far reaching importance of the decision on this issue, the Bench considered it desirable that the matter should be placed before a Special Bench of the Tribunal. On a reference being made by it under Section 255(3) of the Act, the President of the Tribunal has constituted this Spec...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: May-28-1982

Reported in: [1983]142ITR432(Delhi)

D.K. Kapur, J.1. The question sought to be referred at the instance of the Department in this application under s. 256(2) of the I.T. Act, 1961, is as follows : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is correct in law in upholding the AAC's order directing the ITO to make two separate assessments for the two periods during which the assessed-firm continued its business under different partnerships ?' 2. The learned counsel for the applicant urged that the Tribunal was wrong in refusing to make a reference as the question is a mixed question of law and fact. It is also pointed out that the view of this High Court in CIT v. Arvind Construction Co. : [1975]98ITR571(Delhi) , has since been differed from by a Full Bench. 3. The relevant provision of law which applies to the present case is s. 187 or s. 188 of the I.T. Act, 1961.
