Commissioner of C. Ex. Vs. Ishaq M. Gulam Modern Bidi Factory

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-15-2004

Reported in: (2006)STR120

1. None has come present on behalf of the respondents. No request for adjournment also has been received from them. Therefore, I proceed to dispose of the appeals.2. In these appeals which have been filed by the Revenue against the common impugned order-in-appeal, the issue relates to the service tax liability of the respondents. I have heard the learned SDR and gone through the record. The perusal of the record shows that the show cause notice was served on the respondents calling upon them to pay the service tax for the period 16-11-1997 to 1-6-1998 being service receiver from GT operators. They however took the plea that they had already paid the tax. But I do not find any material on the record to substantiate their plea. The learned Commissioner (Appeals) has accepted the respondents submission without verifying and ascertaining as to whether they had furnished any proof of deposit of the service tax. He has on one hand observed that the Assistant Commissioner shall verify this a...

Annurita Vohra Vs. Sandeep Vohra

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-15-2004

Reported in: 110(2004)DLT546; I(2004)DMC568; 2004(74)DRJ99

Vikramajit Sen, J.1. This revision petition is directed against the Order dated 20.8.2001 whereby the Additional District Judge had granted maintenance at the rate of Rs. 6,000/- per month to the Petitioner/Applicant/Wife for herself and her minor children. The Court had come to the conclusion that the net disposable income of the Respondent/Husband is about Rs.32,000/- per month which is exclusive of his perks and reimbursements. It had also been found that there were no dependents other than the wife and children. In Jasbir Kaur Sehgal v. District Judge, Dehradun and Ors., : AIR1997SC3397 , it has been observed that - 'no set formula can be laid for fixing the amount of maintenance. It has, in the very nature of things, to depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. Some scope for leverage can, however, be always there. The court has to consider the status of the parties, their respective needs, the capacity of the husband to pay having regard to his reasonable expenses for h...

D.K. Jain, J.1. These two appeals by three convicts are directed against the judgment and order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Delhi, in Sessions Case No.94/98, arising out of FIR 458/98. Though a common appeal (Crl.A.728/2001) had already been preferred by all the three convicts but a separate appeal (Crl.A. 365/2003) has also been filed subsequently by convict Raju. Since both the appeals are inter-linked, these are being disposed of by this common judgment.2. The appellants question their convictions for the offence punishable under Section 302 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'the IPC') for allegedly causing homicidal death of Smt.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-15-2004

Reported in: (2004)189CTR(Del)114; [2004]269ITR219(Delhi)

1. This writ petition is filed against the order made by CIT, Delhi on 31st Oct., 2003 in exercise of his revisional jurisdiction.2. From the order it transpires that a return was filed by the petitioner declaring loss of Rs. 2,65,590. The source of income was dividend which amounted to Rs. 4,34,166. The AO completed the assessment under Section 143(3) of the IT Act, 1961 (for short 'the Act') on 23rd Jan., 2003 and assessed the net loss of Rs. 1,16,630 after disallowance of expenses of Rs. 1,48,957. Subsequently, the proceedings under Section 148 of the Act came to be initiated. An order under Section 154 of the Act also came to be passed. An appeal has also been filed by the assessed. However, there is a dispute whether the appeal has been filed against the order under Section 154 or against the assessment order under Section 143(3) of the Act. The stand of the assessed is that appeal is not preferred against an order made under Section 143(3)of the Act. The assessed has requested th...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-15-2004

Reported in: (2004)190CTR(Del)567; [2005]272ITR577(Delhi)

B.C. Patel, C.J.1. Admit.2. At the request of learned counsel for the parties, we are taking up this appeal for final disposal.3. The question that is to be considered by the Court is as under :'Whether the Tribunal, while restoring the additions to the file of AO, exceeded its jurisdiction in restoring the addition in relation to the trade creditor namely, M/s M.S. Impex, which was not even the subject-matter of appeal ?4. Admittedly, it is very clear that so far as M/s M.S. Impex is concerned, CIT(A) accepted the contention of the assessed and that the Revenue did not challenge this finding in appeal. Before the Tribunal, the question was with regard to the addition in respect of M/s G.S. Enterprises and M/s Rattan Fashions. There was no question before the Tribunal with regard to M/s M.S. Impex, Delhi. The CIT(A) had held as under :'This also goes to prove that M/s M.S. Impex is a genuine creditor and that has to be allowed. Accordingly, the addition of credit balance standing in th...
