Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-30-1987

Reported in: (1987)21ITD153(Mum.)

1. As common points are involved in these appeals by the revenue for the assessment years 1979-80 and 1980-81, they are heard together and are disposed of by a consolidated order.2. The assessee is proprietor of Modern Movies which is a film distributing concern. He is also partner in Saishyam Pictures, which firm is also distributor of films.3. The first controversy is regarding the valuation of assessee's proprietary interest in Modern Movies. In the assessment year 1979-80 the assessee had shown negative figure of Rs. 8,45,816 as net wealth in respect of this proprietary concern as on 30-5-1978. The WTO noticed that though the net book value of most of the motion pictures in a film distribution concern was nil by virtue of operation of Rule 9B of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (which allows amortization at the rate of 100 per cent if the film is run for 90 days in the previous year), according to the WTO the film still had considerable market value.

Decided on: Jan-30-1987

Reported in: (1987)21ITD128(Mum.)

1. This appeal is by the revenue against the order of the AAC relating to the assessment year 1984-85.2. The assessee is an individual. He is a partner in two firms, namely : (i) Nylo Plastic Industries, and (ii) Ashok Trading Co. They own industrial undertakings. It is not in dispute that the partner is entitled to exemption under Section 5(1)(xxxii) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 ('the Act'). The following two grounds have been taken by the revenue in this appeal: 1. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned AAC erred in directing the WTO to give exemption under Section 5(1)(xxxii) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, in excess of the credit balance in the capital account of the assessee in the industrial undertaking wherein he is a partner. 2. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned AAC erred in directing the WTO to recompute the value of the assessee's interest in the firm on the lines mentioned in her order and allow exemptio...

Lalit Kumar Dipchand Runwal Vs. Union of India and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-30-1987

Reported in: 1988(15)LC305(Bombay); 1988(36)ELT291(Bom)

ORDERDharmadhikari, J.1. Rule, returnable forthwith. Other side waives notice.Heard both sides.2. From the material placed on record, it appears that the crucial question viz. Whether the goods seized are manufactured 'Zarda' within the contemplation of Entry 411(5) has not been considered by the appellate authority, though in the Memo of Appeal the said contention seems to have been raised. According to Shri Desai, the said contention was not specifically argued before the appellate authority and, therefore, was not considered. This may be so. But, in our view, since it is the grievance of the petitioner that he was not given a reasonable opportunity to put forward his case, in the ends of justice at least he should be given an opportunity to put forward his case in that behalf before the appellate authority. Hence the order passed by the appellate authority, dated 9.10.1986 is set aside. The matter is remitted back to the appellate authority for deciding the question as to whether th...
