H.H. Kantharia, J.1. The petitioner had filed his return for the assessment year 1982-83 and the Inspecting Assistant Commissioner passed an assessment order assessing him on income to the extent of Rs. 60,60,234 on which the petitioner paid an amount of Rs. 4,29,000 by way of income-tax. He then preferred an appeal against the assessment order before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals). The said appeal was allowed and, therefore, the Income-tax Officer revised the assessable income of the petitioner for the assessment year 1982-83 and the revised assessment order was passed computing the total income of the assessee at Rs. 21,948 on which the income-tax liability was only Rs. 2,294.

State of Maharashtra Vs. Nainprakash S/O. Tularam Adalkhiya

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-28-1990

Reported in: 1991(1)BomCR230

A.A. Desai, J.1. The State by this appeal has questioned the correctness and legality of finding of acquittal recorded by the learned Special Judge for the offence punishable u/s 161 of the Indian Penal Code and section 5(1)(d) read with section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, mainly on the ground that entire approach and appreciation were grossly erroneous and hence the finding in question resulted in miscarriage of justice. On the other hand the respondent while supporting the finding has urged that the reasoning as adopted and findings recorded by the learned Special Judge, are just and after proper appreciating on the material as placed on record. By inviting attention to the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Tota Singh and another v. State of Punjab A.I.R. 1967 S.C. 1083, we are reminded that unless the findings impugned are manifestly illegal and the conclusion as drawn can only be described as perverse, interference in appeal is totally unwarran...
