No authority taking a contrary view that the Revenue is entitled to reduce from ‘gross dividend’ received, the presumptive expenditure in the absence of actual expenditure for determining the ‘net dividend’ income, has been cited. The Revenue did not conduct an enquiry to determine the actual expenditure incurred in earning the dividend income by the assessee, which is a manufacturing concern and also deals in trading of the hosiery goods.
Even in the present application Official Liquidator does not state what was the value of these shares as on the date of winding up order was passed or even as on the date of filing of statement of particulars by ex-directors so as to arrive at a conclusion that on account of such non-handing over of shares certificates it has resulted in financial loss to the company (in liquidation) which otherwise would not have occurred.
Expenditure should bring into existence an asset or an advantage for the enduring benefit of a trade. In the present case, the corporate membership of Rs.6 lacs was for a limited period of 5 years.
We dismiss these two appeals as not tenable in view of value of the subject matter in each of the appeal being less than Rupees Ten Lakhs, but reserving liberty to the appellants to revive the appeals, in the event of their success before the Supreme Court in the Special Leave Petitions preferred by the revenue.
With the process of liquidation of the company already in progress, the scheme of Section 456 of the Act will have to be followed. The inevitable result would be that wherever any property of the company is available, the possession of such property would have to come to the PL appointed by the Court. Investors, who are before the Defaulters’ Committee, will now have the option of pursuing their claims before the OL in accordance with law. Consequently, the plea of NSEIL that its Defaulters’ Committee should be allowed to continue to be in possession and control of the deposits of Rs. 1.10 crores lying with it to the credit of the company cannot be countenanced.
Section 127 H of the Customs Act, 1962, prior to its amendment by Act No.22 of 2007, empowered the Settlement Commission to grant immunity, inter alia, either wholly or in part of any part of the interest. With effect from 1 June 2007 an amended provision was brought into force by which the Settlement Commission cannot any longer grant a waiver or immunity from the liability to pay interest.
NSDL is not empowered to decide and/or adjudicate the claim of title in respect of demated shares. Any dispute with regard to the ownership and/or title of any share including demated, the proper forum is somewhere else. Unless the title and/or any objection regarding transfer of shares is decided finally in case of dispute and in case there is no dispute, it cannot be forwarded by the Company for further transfer.
Learned counsel for the Revenue however, vehemently contended that the assessee and M/s. K.M. Patel & Co. had agreed to share the receipts in ratio of 60:40. They could not have thereafter, modified such arrangement without any written contract. From the record it however, emerges that assessee and M/s. K.M. Patel & Co. agreed to make investment in such proportion for carrying out construction work jointly undertaken by them.
It is well settled that the proceedings of winding up is not a recovery proceeding. Once it is demonstrated that the debt is subject to a bonafide dispute, the court will not order for winding up. The principles in this regard are elucidated in Madhusudan Gordhandas (supra).
The Tribunal, upon detailed examination of the nature of relationship between the assessee and the transporter, came to the conclusion that this is not a case of sub-contract. The Tribunal noted that none of the responsibilities of the contractor vis-a-vis the execution of the work were fastened on the transporters.
