Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Jagjit Industries Ltd.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-03-1987

Reported in: [1987]168ITR602(Delhi)

S. Ranganathan, J.1. These are three applications by the Commissioner of Income-tax under section 256(2) which relate to the assessment years 1973-74, 1974-75 and 1975-76. The question raised which is common to all the three years is : 'Whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was correct in law and on facts in allowing the relief under section 80J in respect of the Viva division of the assessed-company ?' 2. We have heard counsel at some length and we are of the opinion that a question of law does arise out of this aspect of the Tribunal's order. The Income-tax Officer and the commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) had denied the assessed relied under section 80J on the ground that the Viva unit was not entitled to the relief as it was formed by the transfer of machinery previously used by the assessed. The Tribunal, however, appears to have allowed the relief on the footing that the Viva unit constituted a mere expansion of the unit previously in existence. On the other hand, the cont...

Commissioner of Wealth-tax Vs. Himalaya Trading Co.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-03-1987

Reported in: (1987)61CTR(Del)317; [1987]168ITR586(Delhi)

S. Ranganathan, J.1. These two applications raise the question of valuation of a property on Barakhamba Road, New Delhi. The Wealth-tax Officer valued the property on the assumption that a multi-storeyed structure could be put on it and flats built and disposed of at fabulous rent. On appeal, the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals) rejected this method and instead applied the land and building method after taking into account the portion of the land which was of commercial nature and the land which could be used only for residential purpose. The Tribunal has confirmed the order of the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals). The question regarding the method of valuation is purely a question of fact and the Tribunal has applied a well recognised method in this regard. Even assuming that the method outlined by the Wealth-tax Officer could be described as a reasonable method of valuation, the Tribunal's order decides which method is more suitable to the particular case and that was on appr...

Commissioner of Wealth-tax Vs. Himalaya Trading Company

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-03-1987

Reported in: [1987]168ITR596(Delhi)

S. Ranganathan, J.1. These are five reference application filed at the instance of the Commissioner of Wealth-tax relating to the assessment years 1965-66 to 1969-70. They raise one question of law which is framed in these terms by the applicant : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in directing the Wealth-tax Officer to recalculate the value of the property at 14, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi ?' 2. The question does not really bring out the controversy between the parties which arises in the following way. 3. The Tribunal in disposing of the appeal by a common order approved of the direction given by the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals) that the value of the above property should be determined in accordance with rule 1BB of the Wealth-tax Rules. The grievance of the department is that this has been done overlooking the fact that rule 1BB came into operation only on April 1, 1979, and, thereforee, according to the Department, it wil...

B.N. Kirpal, J. (1) The Delhi Development Authority was set-up for providing for development of Delhi. Whether this object has been achieved or not is debatable but the facts disclosed by this case do show the development of chaos inefficiency and bureaucratic delays in the said Authority. Of course, the charges which are leveled against the officers of this Authority are much more serious but I need not make any comment on the same. The facts of this case will disclose the inefficient and callous attitude of the officers of the Authority with no regard either for the welfare of the citizens or for the interest of the Authority itself.
