Bansal And Co. vs Income-Tax Officer, D-Ward, Agra, And ... on 30 September, 1964
In this connection see Saradish Ray v. Municipal Commissioners of Suri, Moinuddin v. Divisional Mechanical Engineer, N. R. Ry. and L. H. Sugar Factories & Oil Mills v. State of U. P. It was, however, contended that no objection in the counter-affidavit was taken to the affidavit filed in support of the petition and, therefore, the petition should not be dismissed on this ground. It is true that the objection as such was not taken, but it is the duty of the petitioner who comes to court to lay a proper and firm foundation on facts on which the petition is based. Relevant facts have to be stated on affidavit from personal knowledge. The facts cannot ordinarily be sworn by a pairokar as on information from the petitioner.
