Indian Bank Vs. Central Government Industrial Tribunal and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Feb-26-2002

Reported in: [2002(95)FLR83],(2003)ILLJ331Cal

D.K. Seth, J. The question: 1. In the present case a dispute was raised between the workmen and the employer. Ultimately, the impugned award was passed on July 13, 1998 on the basis of an agreement between the parties incorporating the terms thereof. From the award, it was pointed out that the counsel for the employer had no objection regarding the passing of the award in terms of the conditions contained in Annexure 'B' (Ex. W/2) to the application for compromise. The award had incorporated the terms of compromise as part of the award (Annexure 'A') after having examined and found the said terms and conditions as legal and fair. It is now being challenged on the ground that this award is not an award in the eye of law, since it has not adjudicated the alleged dispute. In the alleged dispute, there was no relationship of employer and employee and as such, there was no industrial dispute within the meaning of Section 2(k) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as ...

Chandan Chakraborty and ors. Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and ors.

Court: Central Administrative Tribunal CAT Kolkata

Decided on: Feb-25-2002

Reported in: (2003)(2)SLJ245CAT

1. The short question that falls for decision in this O.A. is whether the applicants (43 in number), who are working as Data Entry Operators under the respondents and who have not been extended the benefit of revised scale of pay of Rs. 1350-2200/- w.e.f. 1.1.86 whereas the same was granted to the similarly situated employees pursuant to the decisions of different Benches of the Tribunal including the Calcutta Bench, can be denied similar relief simply on the ground of inordinate and unexplained delay in filing the O.A.? It is, therefore, to be seen whether the principle of law on this issue is sufficient to refuse the relief in favour of the applicants and whether such refusal will amount to injustice to them.The applicants were initially recruited as Operators in the Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal in the year 1982-84. These posts were later redesignated as Data Entry Operators, Gr. B. The applicants' case is that they have been given revised pay scale of Rs. 1350-2200...

Shaw Wallace and Co. Ltd. Vs. Asstt. Cit

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata

Decided on: Feb-25-2002

Reported in: (2003)86ITD315(Kol.)

These cross appeals are against the orders of the Commissioner (Appeals) for the assessment year 1994-95. For the sake of convenience, they are being disposed of by this common order.The first ground raised in assessee's appeal is that the Commissioner (Appeals) erred in holding the view that the separate assessment can be made under the provisions of section 143(3) of the Act in respect of an assessment year falling within the block period after the search is made under section 132 of the Act. In this case, the search and seizure action was taken on 27-8-1996 and the assessment was made by the assessing officer on 31-3-1997. A block assessment was also made covering this period by the assessing officer and the income assessed for this year was excluded from the block assessment and that view was upheld by the Calcutta High Court in the assessee's own case reported in Dy. CIT v. Shaiv Wallace & Co. Ltd. (2001) 248 ITR 81 (Cal), wherein it was held that an assessment under section ...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Feb-21-2002

Reported in: (2002)3CALLT391(HC)

A.K. Banerjee, J. 1. The aforesaid two cases involve common question of fact and law and as such I intend to dispose of the aforesaid two matters by a common judgment.The writ petitioners in both these matters were implicated in criminal cases on the basis of FIR lodged by the Enforcement Branch for irregularities found on surprise check in the shops and godowns belonging to the writ petitioners.

Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Avery India Ltd.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Feb-20-2002

Reported in: [2002]255ITR485(Cal)

1. Five assessment years are involved in this reference but we deal with the question with reference to only one of those as a representative and prototype assessment year.2. That one is the assessment year 1976-77.3. The question referred to us is as follows :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in law in not confirming the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in respect of bad and doubtful debt reserves ?'4. The point whether bad and doubtful debts were correctly classed as reserves by the Tribunal becomes relevant in view of the Companies (Profits) Surtax Act, 1964.5. Under that Act the capital base of the company has an effect on the incidence of the liability of surtax. The profit remaining the same, the surtax would become lessened as the capital base of the company became broadened.6. It was thus in the interest of the assessee-respondent to emphasize that the bad and doubtful debts also form reserves in the true se...
