ORDERVikramajit Sen, J.1. The question which falls for determination is whether the Petitioner is entitled to payment of pension even though he was not allowed to complete the qualifying service due to an erroneous decision taken by the Respondent to discharge him from service precipitately. The Petitioner was enrolled in the Army Medical Corps as 'Boy Recruit' on 16.4.1048 when he was about sixteen years. Thereafter, he was re-mustered as a 'Man Recruit' with effect from 1.1.1950. It is a common case of the parties that in terms of the Pension Regulations, the Petitioner was required to render a minimum service of fifteen years for becoming eligible for the grant of pensionary benefits. The Respondents have averred that the due to an oversight on their part, the Petitioner was inadvertently Discharged by the Army Authorities by counting his service as having commenced from 16.4.1948 instead of 1.1.1950. There is no Explanationn why the Respondents' had simultaneously also overlooked t...

Heard. The following question has been referred by the Tribunal, Delhi Bench, for opinion of this court under section 256(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, read with section 9 of the Companies (Profits) Surtax Act, 1964 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was correct in law in holding that the gratuity reserve of Rs. 2 lakhs and reserve for bad and doubtful debts of Rs. 7,19,863 are includible in the capital base for determining the statutory deduction under section 2(6) of the Companies (Profits) Surtax Act, 1964 ?'2. We find that gratuity reserve and reserve for bad and doubtful debts have not been worked out on actuarial basis. It is to be noted that so far as the gratuity reserve is concerned, it is to be worked out on actuarial basis. For the purpose of bad and doubtful debts actual quantification would be necessary. That question does not appear to have been considered by the Tribunal. That being the positi...
