A bare perusal of section 469 CrPC makes it amply clear that the period of limitation commences from the day the offence comes to the knowledge of the complainant.

Now, Section 111 of the Transfer of Property Act deals with the modes of determination of the lease and vide clause (e) thereof provides that a lease can be determined by express surrender and vide clause (f) by an implied surrender. Clause (h) deals with the notice of intention to determine the lease. It is true that as per clause (q) of Section 108 of the Transfer of Property Act, the lessee is bound to put the lessor in possession of the property leased, but this would mean that it is inherent that the landlord should accept the possession of the property whenever it is delivered and cannot claim a right to receive the possession only upon the lessee paying dues or otherwise

CA certifying in Form 10CCAC that export proceeds have been realised when not in fact realized amounts to false and bogus certificate and is serious misconduct for which mere reprimand is not sufficient punishment. The attempt was to dupe tax authorities and help assessee to avoid tax, to that extent, such a conduct has to be taken seriously and respondent cannot be let off merely by giving him reprimand; some penalty needs to be imposed so that it acts as deterrent and such professional misconduct are not committed.

Undesirable haste in passing assessment order results in miscarriage of justice – Delhi HC

February 29, 2012 3600 Views 0 comment Print

The petitioner assessee had filed an appeal against the reassessment order as it was mandated and required to be filed within the period of limitation. They have, however, withdrawn the said appeal. Looking into the factual background of the present case, we feel that the plea of alternative remedy raised by the Revenue should be and ought to be rejected. Defence of alternative remedy in the present case will result in miscarriage of justice and cause prejudice to the petitioner.
