Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-24-1984

Reported in: (1987)61CTR(Bom)225; [1985]155ITR409(Bom)

Desai, J.1. The question referred to us by the Tribunal reads as under :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the assessee should not have been penalised under section 273(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, when the failure was under section 18A(3) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922 ?'2. A penalty of Rs. 5,000 (Rupees five thousand) was levied on the assessee. We need not, for reasons which are obvious, refer to the circumstances under which the penalty came to be levied. When the matter was carried by the assessee before the AAC, the AAC relying on the decision of this court in the case of Shakti Offset Works : [1967]64ITR637(Bom) , allowed the appeal. In further appeal to the Tribunal by the Revenue, the decision of the AAC was maintained. Neither the AAC nor the Tribunal seems to have considered the question whether the levy of penalty was justified, or whether, if held justified, the quantum should be as determined by the I...

Bharucha, J.1. The assessee is a public limited company. It was engaged in the business of manufacturing electrodes in collaboration with M/s. Griesheim GmbH of West Germany. The assessee's share capital consisted of 29,622 shares of Rs. 100 each, of which 11,907 shares were held by the foreign collaborators and 4,788 by Harshadray Private Limited. The foreign collaborators arranged through their bankers, Deutsche Bank, for a guarantee in the sum of Rs. 10 lakhs to enable the assessee to obtain a loan of like amount from the Bank of Baroda. It appears that the assessee ran into financial difficulties. An understanding was reached between the foreign collaborators and Harshadray Private Limited and it was recorded on January 18, 1971. The record of understanding noted that the foreign collaborators had arranged for a bank guarantee from the Deutsche Bank to the Bank of Baroda for Rs. 10. lakhs so that the Bank of Baroda could advance a loan of Rs. 10 lakhs to the assessee.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-23-1984

Reported in: 1985(2)BomCR74

Sharad Manohar, J.1. This appeal has been filed by the original defendants. Suit was filed against them by the respondent (who will be referred to hereinafter as 'the plaintiff') in substance for removal of the defendants from the suit premises, meaning thereby for recovery of possession of the suit premises which they have been occupying jointly with the plaintiff for a considerable period. The trial Court found that they have next to no defence to the suit and hence the suit has been decreed by the Court. For the reasons which will be presently stated, I have found it impossible to find fault with its judgment in general and the conclusion arrived at be the trial Court in particular, though I do feel sorry for the appellants.2. The facts are fully and carefully stated in the judgment of the trial Court and since I have found that no fault can be found with the said Judgment, it is un-necessary to state the facts elaborately once again. For the sake of discussing the points that arise...

The State of Maharashtra Vs. Indian Film Combines Private Ltd.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-23-1984

Reported in: (1984)86BOMLR447

Lentin, J.1. In 1977 at considerable expense, the respondents built a cinema theatre at Bandra. Not the conventional type where you walk in, stand at the counter, buy your ticket, walk into the auditorium, and later walk out. In the respondents' theatre you drive into a vast open land, park your car facing a giant screen, have a sound contraption attached in your car, pay so much for the the car and so much for each occupant, and at the end of the show drive out. It is called a drive-in theatre. One would think watching a film from the cramped confines of a motor-car would be a trying experience. Apparently not. We are reliably assured across the Bar that it understandably meets with the enthusiastic approval of the younger generation.2. On December 29, 1977, at considerable expense the State's only drive-in theatre was inaugurated with some fanfare by the Chief Minister. Regular shows commenced the next day. Like all other theatres in Bombay, the respondents' licence contained the usu...
