(1) This petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which is directed against an order of the Additional Sessions Judge, upholding that of the learned Sub-divisional Magistrate, ordering the sealing of a premises u/s 146 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, exposes yet another instance of resort to the criminal process by intending buyers of immovable property to dispossess long standing occupation, by passing the rather dilatory civil remedies. (2) Premises bearing No. A-41, Sawan Park, Ashok Vihar, Delhi apparently belonged to and was in the occupation of the Prafull Kumar Sanyal. Sanyal died in May, 1966.

income-tax Officer Vs. Hydle Constructions (P.) Ltd.

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Oct-20-1983

Reported in: (1983)6ITD575(Delhi)

1. Of the above five appeals, there is one asssesee's appeal relating to the assessment year 1976-77 whereas there are two cross-appeals by the department and the assessee relating to the assessment years 1977-78 and 1978-79. The main points involved in these appeals are common and they relate to the assessee's claim for being treated as an industrial company as defined in Section 2(9)(c) of the Finance Act, 1976 (similar in other years Finance Acts) and the claim of the assessee for relief under Section 80J of the Income tax Act, 1961 ('the Act'). While in the assessment year 1976-77 both the points were decided by the Commissioner (Appeals) in favour of the assessee, in later assessment years, namely, 1977-78 and 1978-79, the Commissioner (Appeals) has held that the assessee was not an industrial company for the purposes of concession in the rate of tax under the Finance Act.However, the assessee's claim for being treated as an industrial undertaking under Sections 80J and 80HH of t...

Poysha Industrial Co. Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Oct-19-1983

Reported in: (1983)(14)ELT2509TriDel

1. The question that falls for decision in this case is whether item 46 of the Central Excise Tariff relating to metal containers, as introduced by the Finance Bill, 1970, included flattened or folded containers.2. The case has an interesting history. Soon after the introduction of tariff item 46, some doubt was felt whether flattened or folded containers were covered within its scope. The appellants paid duty on two consignments of such containers cleared on 10-3-1970. On 21-4-1970, Central Excise Officer informed them by a letter that since flattened cans were treated non-excisable at that time, the payment of duty by the appellants was not in order and that they should, therefore, apply for refund of the same. Then came notification No. 96/70-C.E., dated 1-5-1970 which fully exempted metal containers re-formed out of duty-paid flattened containers or folded containers. This seems to have set the central excise authorities to reconsider their earlier view. On 18-12-1970, they collec...

Ltd., New Delhi, a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956.The year of assessment involved is 1970-71 for which the previous year ended on 31-12-1969. The assessee-company derived income from publication of magazines, survey and research services.2.

Massachusetts (USA) (Rs. 8,440). The stand of the assessee before the ITO was that in respect of the said receipts it was entitled to the deduction under Section 80-O of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act'). This was not acceptable to the ITO as the above foreign enterprises from whom the technical services fees were received, were not according to the ITO, 'foreign companies'.3. Aggrieved by the said assessment, the assessee brought the matter b...
