Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-06-1990

Reported in: AIR1991Bom364; 1990(3)BomCR753

ORDER1. This revision takes exception to the orders passed by the Court of appeal upon applications marked Exs. 18 and 19 in Misc. Civil Appeal No. 61 of 1990.2. The petitioner is the son and he has instituted a suit against the respondent, his father, claiming an injunction that the latter be restrained from interfering with the conduct of business being carried on by him in the name and style of 'Chandan Chemical Products'. It was petitioner's contention that he was the sole and exclusive owner of the business though respondent was at times allowed to work therein but in a purely managerial capacity. The respondent's stand was the exact opposite viz. that the business belonged to him exclusively though he was using the name of his son to run it. An interim injunction was granted in favour of the petitioner and that led to the respondent assailing the same by way of Misc. Civil Appeal No. 61 of 1990. In the course of a hearing on 20th March 1990, the learned Additional District Judge ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-06-1990

Reported in: (1991)92CTR(Bom)241; [1991]187ITR395(Bom)

T.D. Sugla, J.1. The challenge in this petition is to the reference to the District Valuation Officer by the Wealth-tax Officer, C.I. Ward, Bombay, under section 16A of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, for determination of the value of the property in dispute. The reference was made on January 6, 1981. Notices under section 16A and under section 16A(4) have been issued by the Valuation Officer on January 21, 1981, and February 20, 1981. The proceedings relate to the assessment years 1972-73 to 1980-81. It is common ground that, at the time the Wealth-tax Officer referred the case to the District Valuation Officer under section 16A, the assessments for the assessment years 1972-73 to 1975-76 had already been completed. The first question is whether the reference made by the Wealth-tax Officer under section 16A to a District Valuation Officer for valuation of the property after the assessments have been completed is valid. This issue is covered by our court's decision in the case of Smt. Bella ...
