Capital Gain taxable in the year of transfer

September 4, 2012 2888 Views 0 comment Print

The reasoning of the Tribunal is premised upon the fact that capital assets were transferred on a particular date the assessee passed on the execution of the agreement. There is no material on the record or in the agreement suggesting that even if the entire consideration or part is not paid the title to the shares will revert to the seller. In that sense the controlling expression of ‘transfer’ in the instant case is conclusive as to the true nature of the transaction.

Age & formation cannot be the criteria for rejecting the company for comparability analysis

September 4, 2012 909 Views 0 comment Print

So far as the first difference of age and formation is concerned, there is no merit in the contention of the assessee, as the age and formation of the company cannot be the criteria for rejecting the company for comparability analysis. If that is the criteria, then most of the companies which have been included by the assessee are also substantially old companies. The age and formation of the company cannot be the criteria or a relevant factor for excluding or rejecting the company for comparability analysis. This reason based on age and formation is not accepted.

Court cannot create tenancy without the consent of the landlord

September 4, 2012 3814 Views 0 comment Print

The company-in-liquidation admittedly does not own the property. The Court cannot force respondent either to sell or let it out to ‘W’. Interim arrangement was made at the stage of admission of appeal considering the balance of convenience and inconvenience. Such interim arrangement could not be made permanent. Court cannot create tenancy without the consent of the landlord. In short, tenancy is a contract between landlord and tenant.
