Decided on: Jan-22-2001

Reported in: (2002)74TTJ(Mum.)620

In this appeal filed by revenue, the order of the learned Commissioner (Appeals) deleting the penalty of Rs. 1,00,000 levied by the assessing officer under section 271B has been challenged.This appeal relates to the interpretation and applicability of the provisions of section 44AB. Otherwise, there is no dispute about the facts of the case. These undisputed facts, in brief, are that the assessee was in the business of securities and stocks and being a mutual fund, its income was not chargeable to tax under the provisions of section 10(23D). The assessee, however, filed return of income under section 237 with a view to claim refund of tax deducted at source. The assessing officer noticed that the assessee's annual turnover had far exceeded the sum of Rs. 20 lakhs laid down under the provisions of section 44AB of the Act. He, therefore, initiated penalty proceedings under section 271B of the Act. The assessee argued that by virtue of provisions of section 10(23D), its income was not ta...

ORDERR. J. Kochar, J.1. Both the petitioners are aggrieved by the Judgment and order passed by the University and College Tribunal at Mumbai, (hereinafter referred to as the Tribunal). By the impugned judgment and order the Tribunal has partly allowed the appeal of the respondent herein. (For the sake of convenience, hereinafter the petitioners will be referred to as 'the management' and the respondent No. 1 will be referred to as 'the teacher').2.

The management has challenged the entire order of reinstatement with 2/3rd back wages while the teacher has challenged the same in another petition for having been denied the remaining 1/3rd back wages and imposition of minor punishment by the Tribunal.4.

Hindustan Lever Limited Vs. Hindustan Lever Mazdoor Sabha

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-22-2001

Reported in: 2001(2)ALLMR302; 2001(3)BomCR160; (2001)3BOMLR377; [2001(88)FLR1069]; (2001)ILLJ877Bom; 2001(3)MhLj81

ORDERR.J. Kochar, J.1. This is one more instance where a frivolous litigation claims very valuable public time in the Court of law. It is really an abuse of process of the Court of law. The petition has arisen from an order passed by the learned Member of the Industrial Tribunal on 22.9.2000 on an application made by the Hindustan Lever Mazdoor Sabha (hereinafter referred to as Union) in the pending reference No. I. T. No. 39 of 1997. Following the union, the petitioner Company had also filed similar application and sought for similar, prayers as sought for by the union. Both these applications were taken on record by the Tribunal and marked as Exhibits U-141 and C-234. It appears that after giving 'No objection to this Hon'ble Tribunal passing an expert award in the case of those who have made the application by way of affidavits in the year 1998-99.' the Union has turned about and made volte-face. The union is now vehemently opposing the prayer of the Company for an award in terms of...

Medley Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Vs. Income Tax Officer

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-22-2001

Reported in: (2001)71TTJ(Mumbai)328

ORDERR.V. Easwar, J.M. The only issue in this appeal is whether the assessing officer can thrust depreciation upon the assessee and thereby reduce the profits eligible for deduction under section 80-IA despite the fact that the assessee had neither claimed depreciation nor furnished the particulars required for ascertaining the amount thereof.2. The assessee is a company engaged in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. The old unit is in Aurangabad. The new unit, the profits of which are eligible for the deduction under section 80-IA, is in Daman and started production in the previous year relevant to the assessment year 1995-96. The claim of the assessee under section 80-IA for the year under appeal was Rs. 1,70,26,715. The assessing officer, however, reduced the same by the amount of depreciation of Rs, 13,87,736 and allowed deduction of the balance of Rs. 1,58,99,948. His reasoning, in brief, was that the depreciation claim had been withheld only with a view to availing of the deducti...

Jaswant Steel Rolling Mills Pvt. Vs. Commr. of C. Ex. and Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-19-2001

Reported in: (2001)(129)ELT538Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The delay of seven weeks in filing the appeal is attributed to the illness of Jaswant Arya, the appellant's managing director. The medical certificate produced shows that the applicant suffered from "DNO with GD with APD". Certainly it does not show that the applicant was suffering from typhoid as claimed by the applicant. Further, in reply to a question, the applicant said that around 26 employees are working in his company and three others, apart from him, consisting of one supervisor, one accountant and his son who is a director deal with the day-to-day affairs of the company. He is unable to explain why, in his absence, steps to file the appeal could not be taken by any one of these three persons. When it was put to him that for seven weeks in his absence the company itself was run and met its obligation of paying bills, etc. he did not dispute this. We therefore do not find sufficient material to condone the delay and decline to do so....
