..... le of jewellery worth Rs. 5,69,400 on 5th Jan., 1976 by the assessee to 12 private limited companies who are undisputedly found to the wholly owned subsidiary companies of the assessee. In fact, the sale price of the jewellery was paid by the purchasing companies by issuing fully paid equity shares of the value of Rs. 100 each. According to the GTO, the market value of the jewellery sold was Rs. 13,91,350 and therefore, there was a deemed gift of Rs. 8,21,950 which he brought to tax. The second concerned transaction was assessee's contribution of the shares received from the subsidiary 12 companies at the book value of Rs. 5,69,400 and of jewellery of Rs. 1,13,000 to a firm M/s Unique Associates as its capital contribution. According to the .....

..... me and there is no transfer or gift. He further erred in cancelling the gift-tax assessment." We may mention here that the assessee's appeal is totally directed against the CGT(A) holding the firm M/s Unique Associates to be illusory, etc. 3. We will deal firstly with the Revenue's ground about deemed gift of Rs.8,21,950 on the sale of jewellery to 12 wholly subsidiary companies. The reasoning of CGT (A) is contained in para 4 of his order. Shri K.C. Patel in addition to the reasons given by the CGT (A) relied upon a decision of Ahmedabad Bench 'A' of the Tribunal in M/s Kalpana, Ahmedabad, I.T.A. No. 1868/Ahd/1979, order dt. 2nd May 1981. He invited attention to the reasoning given in para 9 of the Tribunal's order. We have gone thro .....

..... ital of his firm and following that view, the view of the CGT (A) is erroneous. Shri K.C. Patel submitted that the issue should be decided in accordance with the provisions of GT Act, such as, s. 2 (xii) and s. 2 (xxiv). He submitted that there were also other legal arguments to show that there was no inadequacy of consideration to attract the provisions of s. 4(1)(A) of the GT Act. Taking note of rival submissions, we consider it appropriate to set aside the findings of the CGT (A) on this issue and restore it to his file for fresh disposal after taking note of the Gujarat High Court decision in (1981) 24 CTR (Guj) 184 : (1981) 131 ITR 42 (Guj), under the IT Act, relevant provisions of GT Act and hearing the assessee on the various other l .....

..... es to be illusory and existing on paper without giving any opportunity of being heard to the assessee as well as to the concerned persons, etc. and therefore, the entire order commending from para 7 onwards was vitiated. The stand of the assessee in its appeal is also quite sound and though the assessee has requested for quashing and annulling of CGT (A) finding in paras 7 to 11 of his order, we consider it adequate to set aside the findings of CGT(A) on this issue right from paras 6 to 11 onwards and restore it to his file and direct him to dispose it of afresh after hearing both the sides and making any enquires considered necessary. We order accordingly. These observations will dispose of both ground Nos. 2 and 3 of the Revenue and the a .....
