Reported in: 1992CriLJ1222; ILR1991KAR1651

B.P. Singh, J. 1. We have heard the leaned counsel for the parties at length. A reference has been made to this Court by the Principal District & Sessions Judge, Mysore (acting as Special Judge) in Special Cases Nos. 5/84, 10/84, 12/84, 13/84 and 20/84. The question referred to this Court is : 'Whether the right of speedy public trial envisaged under Article 21 of the Constitution of India requires setting out an outer limit beyond which the trial of Criminal Cases amounts to violation of the fundamental right under the said article ?' Since we were of the view that reference is not competent under Section 395(2) of Cr.P.C. We have heard the learned counsel of the parties on that question. It has not been disputed before us that the reference will not fall under sub-section (1) of S. 395 of Cr.P.C., because the question involved is not as to the validity of any Act, Ordinance or Regulation or any provision contained in an Act, Ordinance or Regulation.

K. Shivashankar Bhat, J.1. A short but interesting question arises in this reference. The question referred to us under the provisions of the Income-tax act, 1961, reads as follows :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that legal expenses claimed by the assessee fall under section 80VV of the Act and not under section 37 of the Act ?'2. The assessee claimed a sum of Rs. 1,300 as an expenditure under section 37 of the Act.

The statement of the case is not very clear that this sum of Rs. 300 was allowed, but it states that out of the total legal expenses of Rs. 1,300, Rs. 800 was appropriated towards the estimated expenditure as falling under section 80VV of the Act.
