Commissioner of Wealth-tax Vs. Smt. S. Sushil Goela

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-20-1987

Reported in: [1987]168ITR277(Delhi)

1. These are two batches of petitions by two co-owners of a property in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. The question relates to the valuation of this property. Two arguments were addressed before the Tribunal on behalf of the assessed who had preferred an appeal against the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner setting aside the assessment made by the Wealth Tax officer and directing him to obtain the opinion of a Valuation Officer in regard to the question of valuation. The first argument was that the property should be valued on rental basis and the second was that the value of the property should be valued on rental basis and the second was that value of the property shown by the assessed has been accepted in the case of co-sharer, Shri L. S. Goela, and that assessment has become final for the three years in question. The Tribunal does not appear to have clearly expressed an opinion on the first contention. It set aside the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and directed th...

Commissioner of Wealth-tax Vs. Illa Dalmia

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-20-1987

Reported in: [1987]168ITR274(Delhi)

1. These applications relate to the assessment years 1976-77 to 1979-80. The question sought to referred is the same and reads as follows : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the order of the Commissioner of Wealth-tax setting aside the assessment order passed by the Wealth-tax Officer as being erroneous and prejudicial to the Revenue was justified ?' 2. Though the above question is a question of law, we direct reference of the above question only for the three assessment years 1976-77 to 1978-79. So far as the assessment year 1979-80 is concerned, the provisions of rule 1BB had come into force with effect from April 1, 1979, and were, thereforee, applicable for that year. In this view, there was no prejudice to the Revenue by the order of the Wealth-tax Officer. 3. In the result, Wealth-tax Case No. 70 of 1983 is dismissed and so far as Wealth-tax Cases Nos. 71 to 73 of 1983 are concerned, the Tribunal is directed to state a consolidated case for the three as...

Jay Engineering Works Limited Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-20-1987

Reported in: [1987]167ITR882(Delhi)

1. These are cross-applications by the assessed and the Commissioner of Income-tax. In the assessed's application, the first question seeks to challenge the applicability of section 147(a) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This, in our opinion, is a finding of fact, as the Tribunal has found that the assessed has not disclosed fully and truly all the facts necessary for the assessment for the assessment year 1971-72 at the time of the original assessment. The second question raised by the assessed involves two points : (1) whether the sum of Rs. 1,00,000 was deductible in 1971-72; and (2) whether the Tribunal was correct in directing the allowance of this amount in 1972-73. So far the first aspect is concerned, the answer is obvious because the Tribunal has found that the cheque was issued after the end of the accounting year relevant to the assessment year 1971-72. So far as the second aspect is concerned, the Department is also aggrieved by the directions given by the Tribunal to the Depa...

Subsequently notice dated 11.10.1977 was issued to them directing them to show cause why out of the said rebate a sum of Rs. 30349.74P, should not be recovered from them as no rebate was payable since they had suppressed the fact that duty actually paid on the levy sugar was less than the amount of rebate claimed.
