Reported in: 1989(20)LC450(Bombay); 1989(42)ELT204(Bom)

1. These petitions can be disposed of together inasmuch as their facts are similar and they involve a common question. The facts that are stated are the facts of the first petition.2. On 9th October 1977 the vessel M.T. 'Aryadoot' belonging to the petitioners, arrived at Bombay from Iran bringing a cargo of aviation gasoline.

Bharucha, J.1. These three petitions impugn orders (notices for) reopening (of) assessments of income-tax of the petitioner passed (issued) under s. 148(147(a)) of the I.T. Act, 1961. The relevant assessment years are 1970-71, 1971-72 and 1972-73. The notices reopening the assessments are dated February 4/6,1976, February 4/6, 1976, and August 26/28, 1976 respectively.

Manvirsingh Malkhan Singh Vs. Union of India (Uoi)

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-14-1984

Reported in: (1984)86BOMLR681

Ginwala, J.1. The petitioner, by this writ petition, assails his exclusion from consideration by the departmental promotion committee for promotion to the post of Aerodrome Officer in September 1976 and February 1978, when, according to him, he had become eligible for promotion to the said post. 2. In order to understand the grievance of the petitioner, we may take a brief survey of the hierarchy of posts in Civil Aviation Department. Upto 1968, Aerodrome Operators (Grade I) and Aerodrome Operators Grade I (Selection Grade) used to be promoted as Assistant Aerodrome Officers as there was no intermediate step. In July 1968, 48 posts of Aerodrome Assistants were created by abolition of 41 temporary posts of Aerodrome Officers Grade I (Selection Grade). Pending finalisation of the recruitment rules, it was proposed that 75 per cent posts of Aerodrome Assistants would be filled by promotion from the cadre of Aerodrome Operators Grade I (Selection Grade) on the basis of seniority-cum-fitnes...

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-13-1984

Reported in: (1984)8ITD890(Mum.)

1. The assessee in this case are the Trustees of Virji Peraj Trust. The assessee is aggrieved by the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) upholding the order of the ITO that the assessee was not eligible for exemption under Section 11 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') in respect of a part of its income.2. Virji Peraj, by a settlement deed dated 8-6-1931, settled certain movable and immovable properties, including certain interest in two registered firms on trust for certain objects, which were patently non-charitable and for certain objects, which were stated to be charitable. This deed was further modified by a further deed dated 27-6-1946. For the assessment year under consideration, it was claimed before the ITO that the income deriv-de from certain sources was exempt under Section 11. The balance of the income was admittedly to be taxable. Since the declared income of the assessee without giving effect to the provisions of Section 11 exceeded Rs. 25,000, the accounts of the t...
