Sushila W/O Appasaheb Patil Vs. Dada Balgonda Patil

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-27-1982

Reported in: 1982(1)BomCR852

V.S. Deshpande, C.J.1. I am unable to see any merits in this second appeal. Plaintiff is a daughter of one Narasgonda. Narasgonda died on 27th February, 1960, leaving behind him widow Akkamma and daughter Sushila the plaintiff. Akkamma also died on 19th May, 1963. Narasgonda had one real brother Balgonda, who had died earlier in 1930, when he was still joint with his brother Narasgonda. He left behind him his son, Dada who is a defendant in this case. The plaintiff instituted this suit for partition and possession on 15th June, 1974. She claims her father's share in the property, being the only heir of her father. The defendant disputed her claim. His main defence is that Akkamma and Sushila had executed a registered release-deed in his favour on 26th November, 1960, a few months after the death of Narasgonda. He also pleads that on that very day he had executed two documents in favour of Akkamma and Sushila agreeing to pay Rs. 100/- towards maintenance to each for every year. Accordin...

Reported in: 1982(2)BomCR523

V.S. Deshpande, C.J.1. This second appeal arises out of the execution proceedings respondent No. 1 instituted the suit for recovery of possession against the opponents herein and the other respondents Nos. 2 to 9. The plaintiff claimed possession of eastern side 28 gunthas of land comprised in Survey No. 302 situate in Malegaon. This area was leased by the plaintiff to the firm of the defendants in or about the year 1932 for the purpose of running a Ginning Factory. The suit was decreed on 5th April, 1963 and the said decree had been affirmed in first and second appeal in this Court. Respondent No. 1 initiated execution proceedings on 28-9-1970. One of the judgment-debtors, that is, opponents resisted the execution proceedings on the ground that the decree does not give the sufficient particulars of the suit property. Both the Courts accepted that the decree does not contain the required particulars even so they thought it necessary to hold enquiry and fixed the description of the prop...

Master Sameer S. Somaiya Vs. First Wealth-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-24-1982

Reported in: (1984)8ITD332(Mum.)

1. The assessee owns certain shares of Nirmal Commercial Ltd. through the Sameer S. Somaiya Trust. The assessee had valued the shares of this company at Rs. 5 starting with a value of fixed assets at Rs. 91,84,875 and deducting liabilities of Rs. 83,51,205 due to the shareholders against premises allotted. Under the break-up method, the break-up value of the share was computed at Rs. 8.65 and since there was no dividend declared on equity shares for six years and more, the market value was worked out at Rs. 6.50 being 75 per cent of the break-up value. Rounding it off, the assessee valued the assets at Rs. 5. The WTO revalued these assets. In so doing he did not accept the assessee's contention that a sum of Rs. 83,51,205 deposits from shareholders were refundable to them. The WTO worked out the break-up value at Rs. 475.20 and having regard to the non-declaration of dividends for six years fixed the market value of the shares at Rs. 356.40. The assessee, who is the owner of 270 share...

In Re: Giovanni Marco Muzzu and Etc. Etc.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-22-1982

Reported in: (1983)85BOMLR106; 1983MhLJ607

ORDER1. Is this Court to be the clearing house for the export of Indian children transported by devious means to his State from other States for the avowed purpose of being handed over in foreign adoption? That, bluntly put, is virtually the common question I must answer in these petitions. I do so by this common judgment.2. The age of the minors offered for foreign adoption in these petitions range from 6 months to 8 years, five of them being under one year. All these children are born and are said to be abandoned in States other than the State of Maharashtra and were left in the care of institutions in those States, to wit, Karnataka, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh, except in Miscellaneous Petition NO. 86 of 1982 where the minor is said to have been handed over at Andhra Pradesh to one Sister Mary Ella Stewart during he short visit to that State. Soon thereafter these institutions transferred these children ostensibly to certain institutions in Maharashtra, to wit, Norwegina Free Evangel...

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-20-1982

Reported in: (1983)3ITD67(Mum.)

1. An original assessment was made in this case (sic), subsequently the ITO received some information from the Internal Audit section of the department leading to a belief that the income has escaped assessment.He, therefore, reopened the surtax assessment made for the year under appeal, under Section 8(b) of the Companies (Profits) Surtax Act, 1964 ('the Act'). The assessment was made under Section 6(2) of the Act, wherein the ITO reduced for the purposes of capital computation a proportionate amount under Rule 4 of the Second Schedule to the Surtax Act. He also reduced the capital by the amount paid out of the general reserve for the year.2. The assessee's appeal against the reassessment was both on the validity thereof and the validity of the notice served. The Commissioner (Appeals) rejected the assessee's claim. It is thus that the matter is in appeal before the Tribunal.3. The learned counsel for the assessee has pointed out at least three palpable defects in the reassessment : ...
