In Re: Ananta Sadar Vs. Panchanan Bhattacharyya

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-30-1997

Reported in: (1998)1CALLT308(HC)

R. Bhattarcharyya, J.1. The petitioner is sought to have explored remedy under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, 1950 as the Impugned order dated 13.5.97 passed by the Additional District Judge, Allpore, in C.R. No. 283 of 1992 is founded upon slippery foundation.2. The court rejected the admissibility of a solenama based on a petition, but subsequently made an exhibit which attributes to an uproaring in law. It constitutes a confusion worse confounded. The court, according to the learned counsel, was placed between the two horns for the decision earlier rendered which has harboured confusion and the order passed is devoid of law. The contribution of the learned counsel as succinctly made and understood by me is that the certified copy of a solenama of an earlier suit filed on behalf of the opposite party No.1, in Title Suit No.82 of 1992 could not be admitted Into evidence and marked as an exhibit once rejected.3. I have gone through the order Impugned meticulously and I do no...

Rabin Bhattacharyya, J.1. I have been addressed by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in connection with the application initiated under Article 227 of the Indian Constitution 1950 to set at naught the impugned order No. 17 dated 5.9.97 directing the Tribunal to hear out the appeal being M.A.A No. 210 of 1994 and pending decision in the appeal the operation of the impugned order be stayed.2. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears, he has challenged the constitutionality of Section 189 of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation Act, 1980 as it offends the basic structure of the Constitution.3. In challenging the impugned order, the petitioner is emphatic that the Calcutta Municipal Corporation Act 1980 lays down the provisions for appeal, an appeal alone against an order of assessment for valuation being made by the executive and the decision will attain finality snapping of the valuable right accrues to an assessee. The deposit of the consolidate...

Reported in: (1998)66ITD260(Kol.)

ORDERS OF TRIBUNAL--Ex parte order without giving opportunity of being heard Where ex-parte order was passed by the Tribunal after serving the notice of hearing on person not authorised by the assessee, order of the Tribunal had to be set aside as opportunity of hearing was not given to the assessee.The assessee's case is entirely covered by the proviso to rule 24 of the Income Tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963 as the assessee has proved by adducing documentary evidence that notice of hearing was not received either by it or by any authorised person on behalf of the assessee and, therefore, there was sufficient cause for non-appearance of the assessee when the appeal was called on for hearing. The provisions under sub-section (1) of section 254 in its true spirit had not been complied with in passing the ex parte order and, therefore, the power to set aside its ex parte order in the interest of justice is inherent in the Tribunal and could be traced to sub-section (1) of section 254...
