Addl. Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Thahrayamal Balchand on 10 January, 1977
6. It has been held in CIT v. K. C. Behera [1976] 103 ITR 479 (Orissa) that the Tribunal should have determined the validity of the penalty with reference to law as it was subsequent to the amendment. The case of Parimisetti Seethavamamma [1965] 57 ITR 532 (SC) relates to gifts which are not taxable as income. Findings were arrived at by the Tribunal by placing the burden wrongly on the assessee. It was held that the conclusion recorded by the Tribunal cannot be regarded as binding upon the High Court. This authority is distinguishable and does not, however, help the petitioner in any way.
