Reported in: 1990(1)BomCR210

V.S. Kotwal, J.1. This bunch of four petitions which contains the identical question can well be disposed of by a common judgment and which is acceptable to both the sides. We are tempted to observe even at the threshold that the impugned order in all the petitions is almost shockingly un-sustainable by any yardstick. The factual structure in all the petitions is practically identical and the nature of contentions is also the same.2. All the petitioners have been working as Police Constables in State Police Force and were posted at different places. There are two avenues open for the promotional post of Sub-Inspector, one from the Department and one from the Channel of Public Service Commission. All the petitioners have staked their claim through the Channel of Departmental promotion. This pertained to the batch for 1988. At that time 120 posts were declared for being filled in through this channel from the Departmental promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector. Out of those 98 posts were...

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-27-1989

Reported in: (1990)32ITD531(Mum.)

1. The only ground raised by the assessee in this appeal under the Income-tax Act for assessment year 1980-81 is that the income earned by a trust, of which the sole beneficiary was the assessee's son, Master Yash Bharat Divecha, should not have been taxed in the hands of the assessee.2. Briefly to state the facts, after the assessment of the assessee, Mrs. Sunita Divecha, was framed, the same came to be reopened under Section 263. The ITO reframed the assessment and while doing so, added a sum of Rs. 38,000 earned by Yash Trust, the trustees of which were the assessee and Himanshu Bharat Divecha. The beneficiary was Shri Yash Bharat Divecha. The said commission of Rs. 38,000 was assessed in the hands of the assessee.3. When the matter came before the Dy.
