Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-02-1987

Reported in: [1987]169ITR562(Bom)

Sugla, J.1. The questions of law referred to us in this reference at the instance of the Revenue are :'(1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the assessee-company was a company in which the public were substantially interested during the previous years relevant to the assessment years 1966-67 to 1969-7 ? (2) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the value of 'building and machinery under erection' and 'advance for purchase of machinery and raw material' should be included in the capital base under rule 19A for the purpose of working out the relief under section 80J of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for the assessment years 1967-68 to 1969-7 ?'2.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-02-1987

Reported in: (1987)62CTR(Bom)194; [1988]171ITR191(Bom)

Bharucha, J.1. This reference is made at the instance of the Revenue. The question raised is this :'Having regard to the fact that the amendment to section 5(1)(viii) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, was expressly given retrospective effect by section 32 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1971, whether the Tribunal was right in holding that the Wealth-tax Officer was not competent to rectify the assessment of the assessee to tax the value of jewellery on the ground that there was no mistake apparent from the records capable of rectification under section 35 of the Wealth-tax Act ?'2. The answer to be given to the question is squarely covered by the judgment of the Supreme Court in J. M. Bhatia, AAC v. J. M. Shah : [1985]156ITR474(SC) , Having regard to that judgment, the question posed to us must be answered in favour of the Revenue.3. Mr. Dalvi, learned counsel for the assessee, however, submitted that what was encompassed in the word 'jewellery' was itself a debatable question and that, therefo...

In so doing, the Wealth-tax Officer applied, for the period of default up to March 31, 1969, the provisions of section 18(1)(a) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, as they stood before the amendment thereof, effective on and from April 1, 1969, made by section 24(2)(c) of the Finance Act, 1969, and, for the period of default subsequent to April 1, 1969, the amended provision.
