Reported in: (1999)(82)LC183Tri(Mum.)bai

The respondents filed the bill of entry on 20.6.1994 for the clearance of Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Coils of 3 mm and 4 mm thickness and claimed the benefit of notification No. 203/92 dated 19.5.1992 against the transferable Advance Licence which had been issued with an export obligation of cold rolled stainless steel sheets/strips/wide coils.2. The original authority denied the benefit of said notification to the imported goods on the ground that the thickness of the material exported is 26 gauge which approximates to .45mm, whereas the thickness of the imported material is 3 to 4 mm. It was therefore, held on, the strength of general note 2 as prevailing at the relevant time of issue of said licence that the imported materials were not required for use in the export products.3.

1. The Department is in appeal before us against the order of the learned CIT(A), dt. 20th December, 1990, for asst. yr. 1987-88. The first ground is against the deletion of addition of interest of Rs. 62,100.2. The assessee-company has income from interest, capital gains and from sale of grey cloth. It declared its total income at Rs. 77,410 for the year under appeal. On scrutiny of accounts it was revealed that the assessee had not accounted for interest income amounting to Rs. 62,100 on advances of Rs. 33,93,297 given to M/s. Rampratap Bansidhar on the ground that borrower was not in a position to pay and was also disputing the rate of interest at 15 per cent. Assessee had also filed copies of correspondence which had ensued between it and the borrower.The AO, however, was of the view that it was immaterial whether the borrower had paid the interest or not or whether he was in a position to pay it or not, when the accounts were maintained on merchantile basis.

ORDERR.J. Kochar, J. 1. Rule. By consent heard forthwith. 2. Trade Union is to fight against exploitation of the working class in the factories, industries or in any kind of employment. They have to minimise and if possible, to abolish exploitation of the employees by the employers. While in the process of removing exploitation, they must always bear in mind that neither the industries nor industrialists can be and should be destroyed as the destruction of industries would be self-destructive of the working class itself. It might be, perhaps the trade unionists think that the industrialists or the entrepreneurs are evils but they must remember that they are the necessary wheels in the system. According to the industrialists or the capitalists, the labour might be considered in the same process of thinking as evil but it is also the necessary wheel which can never be whisked away from the system. In short, both the wheels i.e. the capital and the labour are essential in the system and b...
