Decided on: Jul-06-1981

Reported in: [1983]143ITR539(Cal)

Sabyasachi Mukharji, J.1. The question in this reference under Section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, is as follows :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on a proper interpretation of Sections 159 and 168 of the I.T.

The questions are as follows ' 1, Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal erred in law in holding that motor car allowance was not a perquisite within the meaning of Section 40(c)(iii) merely because it was paid in cash and, therefore, the ceiling in Section 40(c)(iii) could not apply to it ?2.

Decided on: Jul-03-1981

Reported in: 1982CriLJ61

N.C. Mukherji, J.1. These three applications for anticipatory bail were taken no together for hearing as the same point of law is involved in all these three cases. At the outset, it may be said that all these applications are in connection with cases which have been started in the Courts outside the jurisdiction of this High Court. A preliminary objection has been raised on behalf of the State by the learned Public Prosecutor that this High Court has no jurisdiction to entertain these applications as the cases have been started in the Courts outside the jurisdiction of this High Court. With regard to the merits, the learned Public Prosecutor states that besides the copies of the applications which have been served on him he has no other materials before him and as such he is very much handicapped inv making his submissions with regard to the merits of the cases.
