Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata

Reported in: (1983)3ITD177(Kol.)

1. The assessee is a limited company which manufactures pharmaceutical and industrial gelatine. The assessee during the year under appeal paid bonus to its employees at 8.33 per cent. In addition, it paid Rs. 74,206 at 8.17 per cent. The additional payment of Rs. 74,206 was not allowed by the ITO on the ground that similar amount was disallowed in the previous year and, moreover, the same was not allowable according to the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act'). He, therefore, disallowed Rs. 74,206.2. The assessee came in appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) and the Commissioner (Appeals) found that the disallowance made by the ITO for the assessment year 1975-76 was deleted by the Commissioner (Appeals) on the ground that provisions of Section 36(1)(ii) of the Act came into force after 25-9-1975 and, therefore, that provision was not applicable for the assessment year 1975-76.

G.N. Ray, J.1. These three Rules are directed against orders passed by the Chairman-cum-Managing Director, National Textile Corporation (West Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa) Ltd. terminating the services of the petitioners. As some common questions of law and fact are involved in all these Rules, for the purpose of deciding the question of maintainability of the writ petitions at the instance of the respective petitioners, the above three Rules have been taken up for hearing analogously and if the writ petitions are held maintainable the Rules may be heard separately for assessment of the respective cases of the petitioners on merits. It is contended by the petitioners in all these Rules that such terminations were made arbitrarily, capriciously and without giving the petitioners any opportunity of being heard and without drawing any disciplinary proceeding against the respective petitioners.

Ramendra Mohan Datta, J. 1. This appeal arises out of the judgment and order of Roy Chowdhury Judge dated June 13, 1977 made in an application for contempt of Court.2. No Rule nisi for contempt was issued. It appears that at the very initial stage on behalf of the contemner an unconditional apology was tendered to Court, for having produced in Court, at the hearing of the matter, a wrong copy of the minutes of the meeting dated 15th January 1977, the language whereof was different from the admittedly correct copy thereof which wag also produced before the Court.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jul-27-1982

Reported in: AIR1983Cal215

Ramendra Mohan Datta, J. 1. This appeal arises out of an order of dismissal of an application made under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay and for setting aside the order of dismissal of the undefended suit when it appeared in the list of undefended suits.2. The order of dismissal was passed by Ajay Kumar Basu, J. on August 24, 1977 without delivering any judgment or indicating any reason for such exercise of discretion in dismissing the application. We have repeatedly observed that in matters like this, when the Court exercises its discretion in allowing or dismissing or making no order on the application, the Court should be pleased to give its reasons so that the appeal Court would be in a position to appreciate whether or not the discretion was judicially exercised in the facts and circumstances of the case. Moreover, the provisions of Order 9, Rule 9 of the Civil P. C. provide, inter alia, that if the plaintiff in his application for set-ting aside the dismi...
