The facts clearly show that the Tribunal on appreciation of evidence including the result of investigation and details contained in the form of statement of stock submitted to the bank, has reached a definite finding that the statement to the bank was a motivated one and it did not reflected the true position of the stock position but was rightly reflected in the books of account. - In that view of the matter, the finding reached by the Tribunal is a finding of fact which does not give rise to a question of law.

Whether Tribunal was right in law in holding that the notice under section 148 dated June 8, 1988, is valid and with jurisdiction? - Whether on correct interpretation of section 42 of the Indian Partnership Act read with section 187(2), the learned Tribunal was right in law in holding that it is a case of dissolution and not of change in constitution? - We are of the view that no referable question of law arises from the order of the Tribunal. There is a concurrent finding of fact that the supplementary partnership deed is a manipulated document. The plea taken at a later stage is an afterthought. Thus, the question is not of harmonious consideration of section 42 of the Indian Partnership Act and section 187 of the Income-tax Act, but the question is to the effect that as to the existence of the supplementary partnership deed. It is a purely a question of fact which has been answered against the assessee

2001 (11) TMI 1 - CEGAT, NEW DELHI
Service tax – (1) Late submission of returns (2) Penalty ... ... ... ... ..... . 3. Countering the submissions Ms. Ananya Ray, ld. SDR submitted that the offence was committed by the appellants before the amendment was brought into force and the penalty imposable under unamended Section is imposable on them. 4. We have considered the submissions of both the sides. A penalty can be imposed only under the provisions which are in existence at the time of issuing the show cause notice. As the show cause notice was issued on 21-10-99 i.e. after the provisions of Section 77 have been amended, the penalty is imposable which does not exceed Rs. 2000/- only. The reasons advanced by the appellants for not submitting the returns are not convincing inasmuch as it is not understandable that more than 20 months were taken by them to understand the provisions of Service Tax. We, therefore, hold that penalty is imposable on them under Section 77 of the Finance Act, 1994. However, we reduce the amount of penalty to Rs. 2000/- only. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
