Hypo-phosphite and Co Vs. First Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-11-1986

Reported in: (1987)20ITD638(Mum.)

1. This is an appeal by the assessee against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) for the assessment year 1975-76. The main ground agitated in this appeal is that the Commissioner (Appeals) erred in holding that there was no partnership firm existing in the previous year relevant to the assessment year 1975-76 as evidenced by an instrument of partnership and in further holding that the allocation of profits between the partners was not in accordance with the partnership deed.2. The appellant in this case is a firm. The relevant accounting year is the year ended 31-3-1975. It appears that a notice under Section 148 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') was issued and served on the assessee on 26-2-1977 as no return of income was filed by the assessee for the assessment year 1975-76 (apparently wrongly mentioned as 1976-77 in the assessment order by the ITO). Since no return was forthcoming, a notice under Section 142(1) of the Act was issued again on 3-3-1978. In response to this ...

1. The appeal filed before the Gold Control Administrator against the order-in-original bearing No. XVII(GC)8-70/Adj/78 dated 13.3.80 passed by the Collector of Customs & Central Excise, Pune statutorily stood transferred to the Tribunal.2. The facts required for the disposal of this appeal lie in a narrow compass. The Income Tax Authorities seized gold and gold ornaments weighing 4413 gms valued at Rs. 2,70,560/- from the residence of the appellant. The Income Tax Authorities, however, released the seized gold and gold ornaments to the son of the present appellant Shri Manoharlal B. Sablok. But then the Gold Control Officer seized the entire quantity from Shri Devendrakumar the son of the appellant on the ground that the said gold contravened the provisions of the Gold Control Act. After recording statements of the appellants and others, and after issue of show cause notice and personal hearing, the Collector of Central Excise & Customs, Pune ordered release of 2170.900 gms t...

Oswal Woollen Mills Ltd. and Vs. Union of India (Uoi),

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-06-1986

Reported in: 1988(15)LC128(Bombay)

Bharucha, J.1. By this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners are challenging the legality of the orders dated June 29, 1982 passed by the Assistant Collector of Customs, Refund Department, Bombay, rejecting the application filed by the petitioners for refund of excess duty paid on the ground that the applications were barred under Section 27(1) of the Customs Act. The question as to under what tariff item the goods imported by the petitioners fall is concluded by the decision dated December 31, 1985 of Mr. Justice Kurdukar in Writ Petition No. 1802 of 1982. In view of that decision, there is no dispute that the petitioners are entitled to refund. The claim is rejected only on the ground that it was lodged beyond the period prescribed under Section 27(1) of the Customs Act.2. Mr. Rana, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, submitted that in view of several decisions of this Court, it is now well settled that the refund of duty r...

Siona Nuriel Samuel Vs. Nuriel Nissim Samuel

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-06-1986

Reported in: (1986)88BOMLR646; 1987MhLJ99

S.N. Khatri, J.1. The short question that is posed before me in these three matters is whether this Court has power under Section 4A of the Bombay City Civil Court Act, 1948 (hereafter 'the Act') to transfer matrimonial disputes arising under the Jewish Law, to Bombay City Civil Court.2. Three submissions were advanced, opposing the proposed transfer. These are:I. The State Legislature has no competence to- enact Section 4A of the Act, because it purports to override the provisions of the Letters Patent.II. This Court gets jurisdiction to try matrimonial disputes between the Jews under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent and not under Clause 35. Matters falling under Clause 35 alone can be deemed to have been filed under 'the matrimonial jurisdiction' of this Court. As such, matrimonial suits between the Jews which fall under Clause 12 will not come within the mischief of Section 4A of the Act.III. Even assuming that the Court has power under Section 4A of the Act to transfer the present t...

Bajirao Maruti Dhumal Vs. Shankar Yallappa Mane

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-05-1986

Reported in: 1987(1)BomCR522; (1987)89BOMLR4; 1987MhLJ149

P.B. Sawant, J.1. This is a reference made by one of us (Kotwal, J.) to the Division Bench, for a correct interpretation of section 32(1-B) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). Another learned Single Judge (Tulpule, J.) has taken the view that the mortgages from the landlord is not a successor-in-interest of the landlord and hence the dispossessed tenant is not entitled to the restoration of the land under the said provision. With this view my brother Kotwal, J., has differed and by his reasoned judgment has referred the matter for answering the following two questions---(1) Whether the rations in Balu Sripati v. Bandu Tatoba, 1981 Mh.L.J. 685 lays down the correct construction of the concept of 'possession' in section 32(1-B) of the Bombay Tenants and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, and consequently, therefore whether the said term 'possession' is to be construct in its generic sense or it should mean that to formulate that conce...
