Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Dec-14-1984

Reported in: (1985)49CTR(Cal)236,[1986]159ITR367(Cal)

Ajit K. Sengupta, J. 1. The assessee is a trust to which the provisions of Section 11 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, applied.

Reported in: [1986]159ITR333(Cal)

Ajit K. Sengupta, J.1. This is a reference under Section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for the assessment years 1961-62 to 1963-64. The assessee is a registered firm.
