In the wealth-tax appeals it is the contention of the assessee, who are the trustees of Smt. Rajkumari Radhakrishna Ruia Charitable Trust, that the assessee was entitled to exemption in terms of Section 5(1)(i) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 ('the 1957 Act') and that the provisions of Section 13(2)(a) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') and Section 21A of the 1957 Act are not attracted in the assessee's case.

Decided on: Jan-27-1984

Reported in: 1987(27)ELT613(Bom)

ORDERChandurkar, C.J.1.

1. These two matters, though unconnected with each other, can be conveniently decided by a common judgment, as a similar controversy arises in both of them.2. Before considering the dispute between the parties, I would like to state briefly the relevant facts in both the litigations. Civil Revn. Appln. No. 744 of 1982 arises from an order passed in Special Darkhast No. 121 of 1979 that the amount of maintenance claimed in that darkhast should be recovered from the judgment-debtor. This darkhast was filed by the decree-holder- wife on the basis of a decree dt. 31-7- 1967 passed in Special Suit No. 44 of 1966. Maintenance of Rs. 100/- per month has been granted to the wife. In Darkhast No. 121 of 1979 the husband resisted the execution on the ground that after the passing of the decree the husband and the wife (viz. the judgment-debtor and the decree-holder) had resumed cohabitation and that on this count the decree for maintenance had become unenforceable. This contention was rejected b...
