... ... ..... examine the appeal presently before us. 12. We have perused the orders passed by the High Court while disposing of the Contempt Petition. In our view, there is some justification for the High Court to have initiated the contempt proceedings against the Appellants, but at the same time the High Court, in order to maintain its dignity and majesty of law, could have avoided making some of the remarks and observations against the functioning of the members of the Tribunal. The Judges are also mortals and sometimes, the behaviour of another mortal may not be palatable to them. It is in this type of situation they are expected to rise to the occasion and avoid passing disparaging remarks. This would reflect their learning magnanimity and maturity, particularly when they accept the unconditional apology offered by the contemnors. 13. Accordingly, we allow this appeal and expunge all those remarks/ observations made by learned Judges in the course of their order. Ordered accordingly.

Computation of capital gains on the sale of a capital asset - description of the previous owner and the period of holding of the asset by the assessee - Benefit of indexed cost of inflation - determination of indexed cost of acquisition - HELD THAT:- As decided by ARUN SHUNGLOO TRUST VERSUS CIT [2012 (2) TMI 259 - DELHI HIGH COURT] expression “held by the assessee” used in Explanation (iii) to Section 48 has to be understood in the context and harmoniously with other Sections. The cost of acquisition stipulated in Section 49 means the cost for which the previous owner had acquired the property. The term “held by the assessee” should be interpreted to include the period during which the property was held by the previous owner. CIT v. Manjula J.Shah [2011 (10) TMI 406 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] – Decided against the Revenue.

... ... ..... in nature and once determined, has to be allowed and in this case, on facts the claim had actually been made in the original return and was omitted to be made in the revised return. The omission will not disentitle the appellant to the claim of set off of business loss/depreciation as determined and allowed to be carried forward . Therefore, set of brought forward losses is consequential in nature, once claimed in the original return of income has to be allowed even if the same is omitted the revised return of income. Thus, we do not find reason to interfere with the order of the CIT(A) in directing the AO to allow the set off of brought forward loss as determined against the income of the assessee in the year under consideration and the same is hereby upheld. Accordingly, this ground of appeal of the revenue is dismissed. 39. In the result, both the appeals of the assessee and revenue are partly allowed for statistical purposes.

... ... ..... and within Section 10(f) prohibiting the member of the Village Panchayat from having such an interest. 23. While considering Section 15(l) of the CP Municipalities Act which provided for the disqualifications to the elections of the Municipal Committees, this Court in Gulam Yasin Khan held that the purpose and the object of prescribing several disqualifications in that provision is to ensure the purity of the administration of the Municipal Committees and in that sense the different clauses of disqualifications should not receive unduly narrow or restricted construction. We also hold the view that the prohibition in Section 10 (f) should not receive unduly narrow or restricted construction. In what we have considered above, the answer to the first question must be in the affirmative and it must consequently be held that the Appellant has incurred disqualification under Section 10(f) of the 1994 Act. We hold accordingly. 24. Civil Appeal is dismissed with no order as to costs.

... ... ..... s Court has observed thus 12. ... In the present-day system, reliance is required to be placed on the opinion of the higher officer who had the opportunity to watch the performance of the officer concerned from close quarters and formation of his opinion with regard to the overall reputation enjoyed by the officer concerned would be the basis. 34. In view of the above discussion, we are of the opinion that the High Court was not justified in sustaining the orders passed by the Full Court of the same High Court. Accordingly, we allow this appeal, set aside the orders passed by the High Court. Since the Appellant has retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation, he is entitled to all the monetary benefits from the date of his notional posting as C.J.M. till his notional retirement from service on attaining the age of superannuation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

... ... ..... wanted to furnish, we deem it proper to restore the entire issue back to the stage of Ld. CIT(A) to decide afresh as per law. There is one more reason for restoring to this issue back to the stage because, as per the impugned assessment order, there was an addition of Rs. 45,46,500/- which was taken in the hands of the assessee as unexplained credit and this amount has been sustained in the 2nd appeal as stated by Ld. A.R., therefore, whether it is to be held as loan or deposit in the hands of the assessee for the purpose of levy of penalty u/s 271D, has to be examined afresh. With these directions on merit, the issue is being restored back for fresh adjudication by Ld. CIT (A), needless to say after providing adequate opportunity of being heard to both the sides, we hereby allow the respective grounds only for statistical purposes. 11. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purpose. 12. Order pronounced in the open court on the date mentioned

... ... ..... e next ground of the Revenue is with regard to provision made towards payment on royalty. The CIT(A) ought to have appreciated the fact that the claim of enhanced royalty payment itself is a subject matter before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and question of allowing the provision made towards interest on such enhanced royalty does not arise. 31. We heard both the parties and perused the material on record. We find that this issue is covered by various decisions of the Tribunal in favour of the assessee, the recent one being the order of the Tribunal dated 4.11.209 in ITA No.811/Hyd/2007 in assessee’s own case for the assessment year 2002-03, a copy of which is filed at page 248 of the paper-book. Respectfully following the said decision of the Tribunal, we uphold the order of the CIT(A) and reject the grounds of the Revenue on this issue. 32. In the result, appeals of the assessee as well as Revenue are partly allowed. Order pronounced in the open Court on 11.4.2012.

... ... ..... ity, mere issuance of it and its dishonour does not constitute the offence. 35. In this appeal, a request is made to remand the case to the trial court for fresh evidence. It is not acceptable because in the fact situation, Section 167 of the Evidence Act would come into play which mandates 167. No new trial for improper admission or rejection of evidence-The improper admission or rejection of evidence shall not be ground of itself for a new trial or reversal of any decision in any case, if it shall appear to the court before which such objection is raised that, independently of the evidence objected to and admitted, there was sufficient evidence to justify the decision, or that, if the rejected evidence had been received, it ought not to have varied the decision. I am satisfied in view of this provision, even if there be any unjust admission or rejection of evidence, retrial is impermissible. The appeal fails and it is accordingly dismissed, confirming the impugned judgment.

Therefore, following the above order, we decide this issue against the assessee. 7. As far as issue regarding disallowance u/s.14A is concerned, since it has been held by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. vs. DCIT 328 ITR 81 that Rule 8D is not applicable retrospectively and only a reasonable disallowance can be made in the year where Rule 8D is not applicable. Therefore, following this decision we set aside the order of the ld. CIT(A) and remit the matter back to the file of the AO to decide the reasonable disallowance in terms of the decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. vs. DCIT supra . 8. In the result, appeal is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open Court on this day of 15/2/2012.

It is not necessary for the assessee to show that he has failed to recover the debt despite taking legal action. The assessee is also not expected to say that he had become pessimistic about the prospect of the recovery of the debt in question. At the same time, the Department cannot insist on demonstrative and infallible proof that the debt has become debt. The only requirement is amendment In the circumstances, we find that the assessee is entitled to benefit of deduction under section 36(1)(vii) of the Act as there was an “actual write off” by the assessee, therefore, we affirm the stand of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). Finally, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed. Order was pronounced in the open in the presence of learned representatives from both the sides at the conclusion of the hearing on 13.2.2012.

... ... ..... supported by the decision of the Special Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Manoj Agarwal referred to supra, which is also approved by the Hon’ble Punjab and Harayana High Court in the case of Mridula Prop.Dhruv Fabrics referred to supra. The decision of Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court is also the only decision on the issue. No other decision to the contrary has been placed before us. In the circumstances, respectfully following the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of Mridula Prop.Dhruv Fabrics referred to supra, it is held that the notice issued u/s.158BD is barred by the limitation and consequently bad in law. Thus, even on this ground the assessment passed in consequence of notice u/s.158BD on 17.02.05 is liable to annulled and we do so. In the circumstances, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. 4. In result, appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order pronounced in the open court on 29th February, 2012.
