On July 3, 1958, the appellant made an application to the District Judge for a decree for judicial separation and the only ground on which the decree was sought was that the husband committed an act of adultery with his sister's daughter Alumelu after the solemnisation of the marriage.2.

Reported in: [1964]15STC312(Kar)

ORDERHegde, J.1. This is a revision petition filed under section 23 of the Mysore Sales Tax Act, 1957. It relates to the assessment year 1960-61. 2.

They were made on the basis of 'best judgment', the Commercial Tax Officer having rejected the accounts produced by the assessee. In making the 'best judgment' assessment the Commercial Tax Officer adopted the five times of the working expenses formula.
