Smt. Lucy Kochuvareed vs Commissioner Of Agricultural ... on 7 August, 1970
On the facts and circumstances of this case, whether there has been escape of income to attract section 35 depends on the interpretation to be placed on section 35 (and as we have seen it has seen it has to be held that the section is attracted (Maharajadhiraj Sir Kameshwar Singh v. State of Bihar) and this is only an aspect of the question referred to us. As has been ruled by the Supreme Court "it will be an over-refinement of the position to hold that each aspect a question is itself a distinct question" (See the ruling in Commissioner of Income-tax v. Scindia Steam Navigation Co. Ltd.)
Whether there is any escape of income and whether section 35 of the Act is attracted are questions arising from the order of the Commissioner and are covered by the question referred. We, therefore, negative this contention as well.
