Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-08-2004

Reported in: [2004]140TAXMAN100(Delhi)

ORDERThis appeal by the revenue is directed against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) on a solitary ground that he has erred in deleting the penalty under section 271(1)(c) amounting to Rs. 1,58,544 on the basis that no concealment was involved.2. I have heard the rival submissions and carefully perused the orders of the authorities below and documents placed on record.3. On careful perusal of the orders of the lower authorities, I find that the assessed has claimed deduction of interest payment made to the department under sections 217, 201 (1A) in assessment year 1987-88 and under sections 220(2), 234B, 201(1A) and 220(3) in assessment year 19909 1, but the same was disallowed by the assessed company being not deductible. The matter went to the Commissioner (Appeals) and the Commissioner (Appeals) re-examined the issue and noticed that the assessed had debited this interest payment from taxable income, hence it cannot be said under any stretch of imagination that at any moment ...

Smt. Anupama Vs. Shri Bhagwan Dass and ors.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-07-2004

Reported in: 111(2004)DLT143; 2004(77)DRJ573

Vikramajit Sen, J.1. The facts of the present case are indeed singular. The predecessor of the revisionist, who is respondent No. 1., had filed a suit for issuance of a permanent injunction. There was some hearing which took place on 14.10.2000, and the Suit was adjourned to 5.12.2000. In the interregnum, however, the plaintiff died on 2.11.2000. Obviously, it was impossible for the plaintiff to appear on 5.12.2000, although his Legal Representatives could have done so. As there was no appearance on behalf of the plaintiff, the Suit was dismissed in default on that date. The Legal Representatives of the deceased plaintiff filed two applications on 6.1.2001. The first was an application under Order IX Rule 9 of the CPC which quite clearly was beyond the period of limitation which is thirty days from the date of Order. The second application was under Order XXII Rule 3.2. Learned Counsel for the revisionist has relied on Laxminarayan and Anr. v. Laxmibai AIR 1935 Nag 189 in which it has ...

Court: Delhi

R.S. Sodhi, J.1. Crl.M.C.2137/1998 is directed against the judgment and order dated 14.10.1997 of the Additional Sessions Judge in Crl.(R) No.5/1996 dated 6.3.1996, whereby the learned Judge has while exercising his power in revision dismissed the petition of the petitioner against the order dated 16.9.1995 of the Metropolitan Magistrate dismissing the complaint as being hit by provisions of Section 140 of the Delhi Police Act. The learned Judge has held that the acts complained of were done by the officers under the colour of duty or authority or in excess of any such authority and, thereforee, the bar under Section 140 of the Delhi Police Act, to instituting a complaint within 3 months would come into play. 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that a bar under Section 140 of the Delhi Police Act cannot operate in a case where the complaint alleges torture and beating in custody, for none of these acts are acts which are done either under the colour of duty or excess of duty, because...

Condor Power Products Pvt. Vs. Sandeep Rohtagi

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-07-2004

Reported in: 111(2004)DLT121; 2004(74)DRJ391

Vikramajit Sen, J.1. This Revision is directed against the Order dated 13.5.2000 disposing of the defendant/revisionist's application under Order VII Rule 10, CPC. The defendant had prayed for the return of the Plaint, since in its opinion Courts at Delhi lacked territorial jurisdiction to entertain the Suit.2. It is well established that at the stage of deciding an application under Order VII Rule 10 or Order VII Rule 11 the averments in the Plaint should alone be looked at. Reference need only be directed to Saleem Bhai v. State of Maharashtra 1 (2003) CLT 120 (SC)=. This p2002 10 AD (S.C.) 537rinciple may be somewhat enlarged by making it permissible to also look at the documents filed by the Plaintiff. This is for the reason that the plaintiff cannot deny the genuineness of documents filed by him. This presumption, however, would not extend to the extremity that every statement made in the document also stands admitted by the plaintiff. Let us consider the case of a Notice issued b...
