Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-27-1990

Reported in: (1991)(52)ELT550Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This appeal is directed against the Order-in-Appeal bearing No.HN-334/TH-103/86, dated 23-9-1986 passed by the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Bombay, confirming the Order-in-Original bearing No.V(17) 18-740847, dated 14-1-1985 passed by the Assistant Collector of Central Excise Division I, Thane, rejecting a portion of the refund claim as being hit by limitation.2. From the records, it appears that part of the claim which is rejected as time-barred pertains to the payment of duty for the period from 11-12-1983 to 12-6-1984 and the refund claim was filed on 26-7-1984.3. Shri J.K. Shah, Joint Works Accountant, for the appellants, submitted that though the claim is apparently barred under Section 11B of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 the claim has to be taken as within time as their RT-12 Returns for the said period were finally assessed on 2-4-1984 and that the relevant date for the purpose of claiming refund would be the date of final assessment and for this purpose ...

Ashok Yeshwant Samant Vs. Smt. Suparna Ashok Samant and Another

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-27-1990

Reported in: 1991(1)BomCR383; (1990)92BOMLR434; 1991CriLJ766; II(1991)DMC132

ORDER1. The petitioner Ashok is the husband of Respondent Suparna. The respondent had filed proceedings u/S. 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure claiming maintenance from the petitioner sometime in the year 1979. It appears that the said proceedings were decided ex parte in the absence of the petitioner/husband and an order awarding maintenance of Rs. 500/- per month was passed in favour of the respondent/wife.2. The petitioner who was not intimated about the ex parte order failed to pay the maintenance awarded to the wife. The respondent/wife then approached the trial Court u/S. 125(3) of the Cr.P.C. for recovery of the amount awarded. Even the proceedings for attachment of property of the petitioner proved to be futile as there was no property worth attaching. In these circumstances the petitioner was sentenced to imprisonment by the trial Court, which imprisonment he suffered. It appears that subsequently again the arrears were due and defaulted by the petitioner, for which he had...

income-tax Officer Vs. O.P. Ralhan

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-26-1990

Reported in: (1990)35ITD339(Mum.)

1. Appeal is by the Department and cross-objections are by the assessee. The Department's main ground of appeal is as follows: On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned CIT(1) erred in (1) setting aside the assessment by ignoring the fact that adequate and sufficient opportunity was given by the ITO at the assessment stage. Without prejudice to the above, the learned CIT(A) erred in ignoring the facts on record and relying on the unsubstantiated pleadings of the assessee before him that the accountant was blackmailing the assessee and that the books were in the possession of the accountant. The learned CIT(A) has not appreciated that the facts were not placed at any time before the ITO at assessment stage and that during the course of assessment proceedings, assessee filed copies of accounts from his ledger which clearly contradicts the stand taken by the assessee before the CIT(A).Thus, the Department objects to the assessment being set aside by the CI...

Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Morris Electronics Ltd.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-26-1990

Reported in: [1991]190ITR653(Bom)

T.D. Sugla, J.1. The Department's application requesting the Tribunal to refer the following two questions to this court as questions of law was rejected by the Tribunal on the ground that no referable questions of law arose out of its order :'1. Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the assets under erection are entitled for relief under Section 80J of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ?2. Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal was right in holding that the assets used for scientific research were used for the purpose of the assessee's business and that, consequently, the cost of such scientific research is to be included for computing the capital employed in the business for the purpose of Section 80J of the Act ?'2. We find that the first question is covered by the decision of our court in the case of CIT v. Alcock Ashdown and Co. Ltd. : [1979]119ITR164(Bom) . No purpose is, thus, going to be s...
