1. This appeal under Section 83 of the Indian Lunacy Act, 1912, arises from an order of dismissal of an application preferred under Section 62 of that Act, made by the District Judge at Tumkur in Misc. Case No. 3 of 1972.2. The application concerns the alleged idiocy or unsound ness of mind of one Koterayaswamy. The father of the said person is the applicant and the respondent is his maternal grandfather. It would appear that the alleged hmatic's mother, Adavemma, died about 14 months before the date of the application. Ever since his birth he and his mother had been forced to live with the respondent. There has also been litigation between the alleged lunatic and his father which had concluded with the passing of a decree directing partition of the properties of the joint family of which they had both been members. Ever since the death of the alleged lunatic's mother, he had not been cared for, or looked after properly, although ho was possessed of property. Hence the petition for an ...

In that suit, the defendant-husband raised various contentions. He did not dispute that the plaintiff is his wife. In the suit, the plaintiff filed I. A. No. III for making an order granting interim maintenance. The learned Munsiff, after hearing the parties, made an order to the effect that the petitioner shall pay interim maintenance to the plaintiff at the rate of Rs. 75/- per month from the date of the suit. It is against the said order that this revision petition is directed.2. It was urged by Sri M. S. Gopal, learned counsel for the petitioner, that in a suit for recovery of maintenance the Court has no jurisdiction to order interim maintenance. In support of that contention, he relied on the decisions in Mohd. Abdul Kahman v. Tajunnissa Begum : AIR1953Mad420 and Appanna v. Secthamma : AIR1972AP62 ....

ORDER1. This is a revision petition filed by the dealer against the order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal confirming the order of assessment made for the year 1967-68 (1st April, 1967, to 31st March, 1968.) 2. The dealer is a firm carrying on business in jewellery, and especially jewellery set with diamonds and other precious stones. The Commercial Tax Officer held that the transactions carried on by the dealer were sales of diamonds and other precious stones and gold and not sales of finished jewellery as such and, therefore, brought to tax the turnover as determined by him at 5 1/2 per cent in accordance with item No. 64 of the Second Schedule to the Sales Tax Act as it then prevailed. The dealer appealed to the Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes contending that there was no sale of diamonds or other precious stones as such and that the transactions could not be brought to tax under item No. 64, and reliance was sought to be placed upon the decision of this court in Ganjam N...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-18-1974

Reported in: [1975]35STC484(Kar)

ORDERVenkataramiah, J.1. The petitioner is an assessee under the Karnataka Sales Tax Act. When the Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Enforcement) paid a visit to the shop of the petitioner in his absence his clerk handed over certain books to the Deputy Commissioner. On looking into them, the Deputy Commissioner was of the view that certain turnovers of the petitioner had escaped assessment. He, therefore, issued a notice to the petitioner to show cause as to why penalty as required under section 12-A(1-A) should not be levied. The petitioner filed his objections in response to the said notice and stated that the books and documents referred to by the Deputy Commissioner did not belong to him. After some correspondence between the sales tax authorities and the petitioner, the Commercial Tax Officer passed an order under section 12-A of the Karnataka Sales Tax Act in respect of one year and under section 12(3) in respect of another year. Aggrieved by the said orders of assessment...

ORDERE.S. Venkataramiah, J. 1. The petitioner was a successful bidder at an excise auction held for the privilege of vending toddy in the district of South Kanara for the year 1971-72, i.e., from 1st July, 1971, to 30th June, 1972. It would appear that immediately after he was declared as a successful bidder he entered into an agreement with several other to vend toddy at different places within the district of South Kanara as it was permissible under the provisions of the Excise Act and the Rules made thereunder to get such sub-leases recognised. On the basis of the sub-leases granted by the petitioner the sub-lessees commenced to vend toddy at the places assigned to them on payment of the agreed amount to the petitioner. The petitioner brought to the notice of the excise authorities that he had sub-leased his privilege in favour of others and requested them to recognise the same. Before the excise authorities could make an order recognising the sub-leases the period of lease was over...
