ORDERPer Shri Y. R. Meena Judicial Member - This is an appeal by the revenue against the order of the AAC dated 14-10-1982. The assessment year involved is 1979-80. The first issue for our consideration in this appeal is whether the AAC has erred in treating the whole of the consideration received by the assessee on sale of machinery, furniture, fixture and stock-in-trade, etc., as goodwill and allowing the same to be exempt.2. The relevant facts are that the assessee has received a sum of Rs. 1 lakhs as price of machinery, furniture, fittings, stock-in-trade, etc., along with the goodwill of the business, and claimed before the ITO that the assessee has received Rs. 1 lakh on account of goodwill of the business, and, therefore, it is not taxable. The ITO did not agree with the claim of the assessee. He has taken the value of the goodwill at Rs. 12,500 and estimated the capital gains at Rs. 30,253. Being aggrieved, the assessee carried the matter before the AAC. The AAC has considered ...

Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. Govardhandas Manmohandas

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-04-1984

Reported in: [1986]63STC434(Bom)

Sujata V. Manohar, J.1. Respondent M/s. Govardhandas Manmohandas is a registered dealer under the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959. The business of the respondent consists of purchasing and selling pumping sets to agriculturists. The pumping sets have two components, viz., a pump and an oil engine. There is no dispute that the pumping sets sold by the respondent are agricultural machinery. The respondent, however, also sells to agriculturists parts of oil engines. It seems that the clients of the respondent who have purchased pumping sets from the respondent also purchased from the respondent replacements for the parts of the sets which get worn out. Such parts include parts of oil engines.2. In respect of the parts of oil engines which were sold by the respondent to the agriculturists under several bills, the respondent made an application dated 7th December, 1974, before the Commissioner of Sales Tax under section 52 for determining whether the items referred to in the bills which were the...

1. The Revision Application filed before the Govt. of India against the Order-in-Appeal bearing No. S/49-1012/79-M dated 10-1-80 passed by the Collector of Customs (Appeals) Bombay statutorily stood transferred to the Tribunal for being heard as an appeal. The Asstt. Collector of Customs after adjudication called upon the appellants to pay the penalty of Rs. 16223.99 under Section 116 of the Customs Act on the alleged short landing of the goods imported by M/s. Steel Industries of India. On appeal, the Appellate Collector observed that the penalty was levied on shortages noticed during survey which was held under Customs supervision. The shortages occurred due to the denting of 239 drums and damage to 3 drums before the same were landed. As the drums were dented and damaged before the landing and as the survey was held under Customs supervision, the action taken by the Asstt. Collector was maintainable and on this reasoning the learned Collector (Appeals) rejected their appeal.3. Duri...

Eastern Agencies and Another Vs. Union of India and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-03-1984

Reported in: 1985(6)ECC50

Bharucha, J.1. This petition seeks to quash on order passed by the Foreign Exchange Regulation Appellate Board. The decision of the petition depends upon the interpretation placed on the phrase own or holds' in s. 9 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947. Section 23EE thereof provides that an appeal shall lie to the High Court only on questions of law from any decision or order of the Appellate Board. This is a matter in which an appeal ought to have been filed. I am, however, unable to uphold the preliminary objection upon this ground because the petition has been entertained and heard and there is some doubt as to whether the appeal would now be entertained : Hirday Narain v. ITO : [1970]78ITR26(SC) .2. The first petitioners carry on business as indenting agents of foreign manufacturers of drugs and chemicals. They place orders with foreign manufacturers for the supply of drugs and chemicals to Indian purchasers. The first petitioners are paid commission by the foreign manufact...

1. This application is for condonation of delay in presenting the appeal CD. (Bom) Appeal No. 264/84. It came up for consideration on 2nd August, 1984. None represented the applicant on that date. But then after hearing Shri Krishan Kumar, the learned Departmental Representative and considering the averments made in the application, it was rejected on the ground that no cause much less sufficient cause was shown for the delay in filing the appeal between the period January and March, 1984.
