From the order of the WTO it appears that the assessee is an HUP and it had filed return declaring a wealth of Rs. 6,79,044 on 31-3-1980.

It also appears from the order of the WTO that the assessment has been made under Section 16(3), read with Section 17, of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 ('the Act'). It is on the basis of these facts that the assessee has raised a ground that the assessment made by the WTO was time barred as it could not have been made on 29-3-1985. This issue as such has not been taken up before the AAC though it was stated before him that the assessment was bad in law.

1. These five appeals involve common issues of facts and law. They are, therefore, being disposed of by this combined order.2. The appellants manufacture "Electric Ovehead Travelling Cranes"., They are aggrieved because the Collector (Appeals) has held that charges on account of erection, installation and commissioning of these cranes at customer's site are inciudible in the assessable value of the cranes.
