Compensation from the Government - Capital receipt not revenue recipt ... ... ... ... ..... he estimated mesne profits of the plot. If there had been a contract, and such a payment had been made under the contract, that payment would have been in the nature of rent and obviously the rent would be a revenue receipt in the hands of the assessee. On the facts that case can have no analogy with the present case. In our opinion it is clearly distinguishable. In the circumstances we hold that the amount received by the assessees for the requisitioning of their six sheds or godowns was in the nature of a capital receipt in their hands paid to them for the damage sustained by their profit-making apparatus. It was not a revenue receipt and was not taxable in the hands of the assessees. We answer the question referred to us as follows The amount of Rs. 1,05,074 received by the applicants-assessees as compensation from Government was not taxable as income of the applicants-assessees but was a capital receipt in their hands. The Commissioner shall pay the costs of the assessees

1967 (2) TMI 12 - MYSORE HIGH COURT
Carry forward a loss - set off against the profits - return of loss ... ... ... ... ..... he carry forward of losses. It is not suggested, nor does it follow from the facts stated in the affidavit, that any other benefit is likely to be derived by him from a consideration of his returns of losses or that any detriment or prejudice is likely to result by the omission or refusal on the part of the Income-tax Officer to examine those returns. Hence, the rather loosely worded expressions of the officer in his assessment order to the effect that he cannot take cognizance of the returns or that the returns cannot be acted upon and should be filed are not of any direct bearing on, or relevance to, the rights and interests of the petitioner. We are, therefore, of the opinion that this is not a case in which a writ of mandamus should issue to entertain and take up for consideration the returns made by the petitioner in respect of the assessment years 1962-63 and 1963-64. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. Writ petition dismissed

1967 (2) TMI 10 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT
Income-tax assessment and the wealth-tax assessments - gift by the applicant to his son ... ... ... ... ..... efore us there is no evidence of the gift having been made or its having been acted upon. As has been pointed out by the Tribunal, there is no evidence, whatsoever about the acceptance of the gift by or on behalf of the donee. So far as the amount purported to have been gifted is concerned, nothing has happened excepting certain entries having been made in the accounts of the partnership. The amount remains invested in the business of the partnership and has in no way been dealt with by and on behalf of the minor. In our opinion, therefore, the Tribunal was right in the view that it has taken and the result, therefore, is that the questions referred to us must be answered in favour of the department and against the assessee. We accordingly answer each of the two sets of questions referred to us in connection with the income-tax assessment and the wealth-tax assessments in the affirmative. The assessee will pay the costs of the department. Questions answered in the affirmative

1967 (2) TMI 7 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT
Firm - Minor admitted to benefits of Partnership - registration ... ... ... ... ..... . In Dwarakadas Khetan s case no part of the document could be said to be valid so far as the minor was concerned, whereas in the present case it is only because of one single term, namely, the provision as to losses, that the invalidating effect is sought to be attributed to the document. We do not think that it was the intention of the Supreme Court to say that any and every error in a document giving rise to some illegality would vitiate the entire document and preclude its registration under section 26A. That would be an exteremly technical view to take and, in our opinion, the Supreme Court has not taken any such view. For these reasons, we answer the question as follows Q Whether the firm, being genuine, is entitled to registration for the assessment years 1953-54 and/or 1954-55 on the basis of the deed dated April 14, 1953 ? A For the assessment year 1953-54 ... in the negative. For the assessment year 1954-55 ... in the affirmative. There shall be no order as to costs
