Having regard to the dates on which the sites were acquired the long term capital gains and short term capital gains were arrived at . The assessee has paid the money by way of account payee cheque to one B.G. to clear the slum dwellers, which amount has been acknowledged by him. Expenses related only to short term capital gains.

This is an application for the winding up of Tantia Constructions Ltd. (hereinafter the company). It is made by a Malaysian company by the name of Road Builder (M) Sdn Bhd, (hereinafter the petitioning creditor). These two companies entered into a joint venture agreement on 14th July, 2003 for setting up a project in the State of Mizoram. After sometime, the company pulled out of it. They entered into a different relationship. The petitioning creditor agreed, on 15th December, 2007, to sell to the company plant, machinery and vehicles at a total consideration of Rs. 2,75,73,614.41/-.
There is no conflict between the statutory relief of winding up and of the contractual right to have disputes settled by arbitration. Once a bona fide defence is shown to exist, arbitration will be the efficacious and proper remedy. Where, however, the defence is mala fide and a moonshine, arbitrable disputes would not exist and the company judge would have the power to pass appropriate orders Madhya Pradesh Iron & Steel Co. (supra). Existence of an arbitration clause does not oust the jurisdiction of this court to either entertain or to admit a petition for winding up.
Commercial vehicle is to include heavy goods vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle, light motor vehicle, medium goods vehicle but is not to include maxi-cab, motor-cab, tractor and road-roller. Therefore, the question which falls for consideration is whether Tippers, Vibrator and Vibrator Soil Compactor would be covered by the expression ‘commercial vehicle’ or such vehicles have to be regarded as plant and machinery to attract less percentage of depreciation. The reasoning adopted by the Tribunal would not suffer from any legal infirmity because the Tippers are registered under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for brevity ‘the 1988 Act’) as road transport vehicle as would be vibrator and vibrator soil compactor.
CIT v. Tyco Electronics Corpn. India (P.) Ltd. As deduction under section 10-A has to be excluded from the total income of the assessee, the question of unabsorbed business loss being set off against such profit and game of the undertaking would not arise.

Petitioner had filed the application for registration on 23rd September, 2006 after the 2002, Scheme had come to an end, as the scheme was applicable only upto 31 st March, 2006. The industrial park set up by them was not operational/functional by 31st March, 2006. It became operational on a subsequent date.

The non-availability or non-association of independent witness cannot be a ground for discharge or acquittal in all cases. It would depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case and the evidentiary value of the prosecution witnesses could not be undermined at the stage of framing of charges. It is moreso when the prosecution has cited some panch witnesses to be examined in support of its case. The impugned order discharging the accused/respondents apparently suffers from illegality and has caused miscarriage of justice. At the stage of charge, what is to be seen by the Trial Court was laid down by the Supreme Court in the catena of judgments. Reference is made to the judgment in case State of Bihar v. Ramesh Singh, AIR 1977 SC 2018.
There is no reason and justification to hold that clause (iii) of the Explanation intents to reduce or restrict the indexed cost of acquisition’ to the period during which the assessee has held the property and not the period during which the property was held by the previous owner.
