... ... ... ... ..... sion read along with the Explanation to section 5(1)(xxxi). Accordingly, a question of law arises in this behalf as well. Consequently, this application is allowed and the Tribunal is directed under section 27(3) of the Act to state the case and to refer to this court for its decision the following questions of law, namely (1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the onus of proof that the market value of the closing stock exceeded by more than 20 per cent. the value disclosed in the balance-sheet of the firm was on the Revenue, and the same not having been proved, rule 2B(2) of the Wealth-tax Rules, 1957, was not attracted ?

Donation To Charitable Institution, Entertainment Expenditure ... ... ... ... ..... ition to be fulfilled for attracting section 80M in the above decision must equally apply for construing the condition on fulfilment of which section 80G is attracted. In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that no case was made out for applying section 80G and giving to the assessee benefit of the deduction available thereunder when the assessee had declared loss and there was no income earned for the purpose of taxation, so as to require computation of the total income. The Tribunal s view on this point is, therefore, not justified. Consequently, the reference is answered partly in the affirmative and partly in the negative. The first question is answered in the affirmative, in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue by holding that the Tribunal s view on question No. 1 is justified. Question No. 2 is answered in the negative, against the assessee and in favour of the Revenue by holding that the Tribunal s view on this question is not justified. No costs.

1988 (5) TMI 11 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT
Total Income ... ... ... ... ..... entative capacity as karta of the Hindu undivided family and it is only in computing the total income as an individual and not in the other capacity as karta of the Hindu undivided family that the income of the minor child of that individual can be clubbed in accordance with section 64(1)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. In other words, where the minor child s parent is the assessee in a representative capacity as karta of the Hindu undivided family and not as an individual, section 64(1)(iii) cannot be applied to club the income of the minor in computing the total income of the assessee-Hindu undivided family. The same being the view of the Tribunal, it has to be upheld. Consequently, the reference is answered in the affirmative against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee by holding that the Tribunal was justified in its view that clubbing of the share income of the minor, Nitesh Kumar, in the hands of the assessee-Hindu undivided family is not sustainable. No costs.

1988 (5) TMI 10 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT
Total Income ... ... ... ... ..... Hindu undivided family and not an individual. The question is whether the share income of the minor, Narendra Kumar, son of the karta of the Hindu undivided family, who was admitted to the benefits of partnership in a firm is to be included in the income of the assessee-Hindu undivided family while computing the total income of the assessee-Hindu undivided family in accordance with section 64(1)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. In D. B. Income-tax Reference No. 12 of 1.981, CIT v. Abhay Kumar 1989 l79 ITR 363, decided by us today, we have held that section 64(1)(iii) of the Act applies where the minor child is of an individual who is the assessee as an individual and not where the assessee is a Hindu undivided family. The view of the Tribunal being in consonance with the above decision, it has to be upheld. Consequently, the reference is answered in the affirmative, against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee by holding that the Tribunal s view is justified. No costs.

Lease, Reversionary Value, Valuation Officer, Wealth Tax ... ... ... ... ..... rroneous in so far as he directed the Wealth-tax Officer to reconsider the question whether the assessee s right to get a flat in the property to be constructed is a valuable asset or not. As I have held, even if it is an asset for the purpose of inclusion in the wealth, its value is not capable of being quantified in terms of money unless, in fact, such flat is obtained by the assessee. In the result, this application succeeds. The report of the Valuation Officer dated September 3, 1987, is set aside and quashed. The order of the Commissioner of Income-tax, dated February 17, 1987, made under section 25(2) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, will stand set aside to the extent indicated above. This order will, however, not prevent the respondents from proceeding in accordance with law in the light of the observations made in the judgment and in determining the value of the property in question. All parties shall act on a signed copy of the operative part of this judgment and order.

Business Expenditure ... ... ... ... ..... evant accounting period. The assessee, therefore, contended that two assessments were required to be made, one for the period up to the death of the partner and the other for the period subsequent to it, because it was a case of succession governed by section 188 of the Act and not a mere change in the constitution of the firm to which section 187(2) applies. The case is admittedly governed by the proviso inserted in section 187(2) of the Act by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 1984, with effect from April 1, 1975. Admittedly, there was no contract to the contrary and, therefore, in accordance with section 42(c) of the Partnership Act, the firm was dissolved on the death of one of its partners. In such a situation, section 187(2) has no application. (CIT v. Assumal Veerumal 1988 170 ITR 489 (Raj)). Consequently, this reference has to be answered in the affirmative, against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee by holding that the Tribunal s view is justified. No costs.
