Smt. Sudhadevi Modi Vs. Assistant Commissioner of

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: May-10-2002

Reported in: (2003)84ITD604(Mum.)

1. These are 20 appeals filed by 10 different assessees belonging to the same family. There are two appeals in each assessee's case. One set of 10 appeals is directed against the order of the CIT(A) by which he set aside the assessments made by the Assessing Officer and directed him to reframe the same after conducting certain enquiries. The other set of 10 appeals is directed against the order of the CIT(A), who confirmed the additions made in the fresh assessments made pursuant to the directions of the CIT(A). That is how we have 20 appeals before us.2. All the appeals were heard together and since they also involve the same issue, they are disposed of by a consolidated order for the sake of convenience.3. By common consent, the appeals in the case of Smt. Kusumdevi Modi were taken up first and argued elaborately by both the sides, not only because the main order of the CIT(A) has been passed in this case, but also because the facts in all other cases are identical. No separate argu...

I have heard the learned Advocates of both the sides at length on this first day of my summer vacation by the consent of the learned Advocates in the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case.2. It appears that the respondent No. 3 bank had challenged before the Supreme Court of India the interim order dated 14-5-2001 passed by this Court (A.S. Aguiar, J.) staying the impugned order of repelling passed by the respondent No. 1 be held on 16-5-2001, till further orders and directing the Board of directors of the bank not to take any policy decision. The Supreme Court refused to interfere with the said interim order passed by this Court and dismissed the special leave petition by its order dated 16-7-2001. The Supreme Court, however, requested the High Court to dispose of the petition as expeditiously as possible preferably within two months. It appears that on account of extremely heavy board before the regular benches these petitions could not be disposed of as per...

1. The question for consideration in this appeal is the classification of hoses of plastic that the respondent manufactured. The manufacturer had claimed classification of these goods to Heading 8424.00 of the Tariff as part of mechanical appliances of a kind used in agriculture or horticulture and exemption from duty available in Notification 46/94. Adjudicating on a notice issued to the manufacturer, the Asst.Commissioner confirmed the proposal in the notice. He held that the goods were classifiable not as parts of mechanical appliance under Heading 8424.00 but as tubes and pipes of plastic under Heading 3917.00 and denied the exemption. The manufacturer appealed this order and the Commissioner (Appeals) accepted the contention that the goods were more appropriately classifiable under Heading 8424.00 and allowed the appeal. Hence, this appeal by the Commissioner.2. We are not able to accept the ground in the appeal that by application of Note l(g) of Section XVI of the Tariff, the t...
