Tity Thomas and ors. Vs. Tax Recovery Officer and anr.

Court : Kerala

Reported in : [1994]207ITR1072(Ker)

..... the words 'as the scheme of the act visualises proceedings being taken against the firm or the partners only if a liability is imposed under the provisions of the act against the firm or the partners thereof employed in the passages at page 149 of the judgment of the full bench are of great significance ; the full bench has taken sufficient care to indicate that if the provisions of the income-tax act themselves impose liability on the partner, there would be no bar against his being proceeded against though the assessment stood in the name of the firm alone. ..... in the other case of ali koya haji [1976] 37 stc 618, the amount sought to be recovered was sales tax due from a defunct firm under the kerala general sales tax act, 1963. ..... since the scheme of the act visualises proceedings against the firm or the partners only if a liability is imposed on them under the provisions of the act, any liability for the tax imposed on a firm as such under the act cannot be treated as the liability of the partners by importing the general principles of partnership law and therefore those dues of the firm cannot be recovered from the partners. ..... it was sought to be recovered from a partner by issuing a garnishee notice to his employer under section 25 of the act. .....
