Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Sequria Associates

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-25-1987

Reported in: [1989]175ITR409(Delhi)

1. These three applications under section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, can be disposed of by a common order. Income-tax Case No. 223 of 1984 relates to the company and the other two to a firm. The question sought to be raised by the Department is whether the Tribunal was right in holding that the firm was a genuine firm and that the income returned by the firm was assessable in its hands and had to be excluded from the assessment of the company. This obvious is a question of fact (vide Ratanchand Darbarilal v. CIT : [1985]155ITR720(SC) and Ladhu Ram Taparia v. CIT : [1962]44ITR521(SC) ). The present case does not fall within the ratio of the Supreme Court in the case of S. P. Gramophone Co. v. CIT : 1986ECR28(SC) , relied upon by the counsel for the petitioner. 2. The main argument of counsel for the petitioner was that there was no ostensible object or purpose in the creation of the firm and that it had been really created with a view to divert the profits or a portion of the p...

1. This is a contempt petition filed by Dr. R. A. Darbari on the allegation that the judgment given in his favor in the Writ Petition No. 187/75 is not being complied with by the respondents. 2. The services of the petitioner had been terminated and he had filed a writ which was allowed and the order terminating his services was quashed and the respondents were directed to re-instate him with all necessary benefits. The short question which has arisen in this contempt petition is whether the respondents while granting the petitioner all the arrears of pay and allowance were entitled to deny to the petitioner non-practicing allowance. Another point raised by the petitioner is that he had not been given promotion although his junior has been promoted and that the respondents are bound to give him promotion from the date his junior had been promoted. 3. The case of the respondents in brief is that there is no legal right available to the petitioner entitling him to grant of ad hoc promoti...
