S.V. Singh Vs. Union of India (Uoi)

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jun-15-1987

Reported in: (1987)0CALLT535(HC),92CWN276

Umesh Chandra Banerjee, J.1. It is now well settled that the Writ Court would not normally interfere with the orders of transfer, since the High Court exercising powers under Article 226 of the Constitution cannot assume the role of an administrative supervisor in regard to the affairs of a concerned organisation. But this cannot have an universal application and it depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case. The managerial function to transfer cannot and ought not to be regarded as a prerogative without any just cause. If the transfer order is tainted with malice or is violative of well-accepted norms or it is penal in nature, the writ Court shall be within its jurisdiction to enquire into the charge of malice and if found substantiated can set right the wrong and to set right of wrong is a plain exercise of judicial powers and there ought not to be any hesitation in that regard.2. The Madras High Court in the case of C. Ramanathan v. Acting Zonal Manager, Food Corporation ...

Reported in: (1987)0CALLT469(HC)

Susanta Chatterjee, J.1.

The assessee purchased a flat being No. 12G in Everest Building, 46C, Chowringhee Road, Calcutta from M/s.Western Building Corporation. This flat was leased out to M/s. C. Itch & Co. Ltd. The gross rent received by the assessee amounted to Rs. 88,124 and Rs. 71,052 during the two years under appeal. The assessee pleaded before the Income-tax Officer that the flat was not registered in her name and, therefore, she was not the owner of the flat within the meaning of Section 22 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and hence it was not assessable in her hands as income from house property. This plea of the assessee was not accepted. Therefore, the ITO, after deducting the municipal taxes and maintenance expenses took the income from the flat at Rs. 71,052 and Rs. 71,276 respectively for the years under appeal.3.
