Standard Chartered Bank Vs. Inspecting Assistant

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-13-1990

Reported in: (1991)39ITD57(Mum.)

1. to 8. [These paras are not reproduced here as they involved minor issues.] 9. The next two grounds (9 and 10 for the assessment year 1985-86, 8 and 9 for the assessment year 1986-87) raise an interesting question of law. The case of the assessee is that the CIT(A) erred in holding that the assessee's claim of deduction of Rs. 37,82,630 for the assessment year 1985-86 and Rs. 60,14,906 for the assessment year 1986-87 towards provision for the debts under the amended Section 36(1)(viia) is not sustainable in the law under the non-discrimination clause provided in the Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement entered into between the Government of the India and the United Kingdom. The relevant facts in this regard may be stated. The assessee claimed that the provision for bad debts amounting to Rs. 37,82,613 made during the year was deductible under the new Section 36(1)(viia) introduced with effect from 1-4-1985. Although this section is not applicable to the assessee bank having been i...

1. What is meant by the word 'cruelly' in matrimonial law? Is the old English law concept of 'danger' applicable in India today?. If wild, reckless and baseless allegations of impotency and lack of manliness are made in the written statement, can this by itself amount to cruelty in matrimonial law?. These are some of the questions which arise for determination in this appeal by the original respondent-wife,2. At the out-set I must mention that in accordance with the mandate of Section 23(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, an attempt was made to bring about a reconciliation between the parties. The wife who is now staying at Delhi had come down to Bombay. However, I am informed by the learned Counsel Mr. K.S.V. Murthy for the appellant-wife and Mr. C. G. Patil for the respondent-husband that despite their efforts to bring about the reconciliation, they have not been successful at all. Unfortunately, the parties are staying separately since September, 1980 i.e. for nearly more than ten ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-12-1990

Reported in: AIR1991Bom240

a) The case dealt with the manner in which the oral examinations should be conducted - The Court ruled that the matters like the inclusion or exclusion of the particular head or sub-head and awarding the marks to each one, should be decided by the university authorities and it cannot be ruled by the Court - However the choice should be such that it should not promote the favoritism or arbitrariness.b) The case dealt with the manner in which the oral examinations should be conducted - The university conducts the M.D. Pathology examination and in it the oral testing was as important as the testing in theory and practicals - The Court held that even though the specialist in pathology may be required to devote more time in the laboratory and research work, but still his mental alertness and ability should be tested as well1. This petition takes exception to alleged arbitrariness in the excessive weightage given to orals with a corresponding total denigration of dissertations in assessing t...
