Petrosil Oil Company Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax on 22 September, 1993
89. As regards the second question, both sides fairly state that this question is squarely covered by the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in that case of Central Provinces Manganese Ore Co. Ltd. v. CIT [1986] 160 ITR 961. The assessee has claimed that they were not liable to levy. Thus, they have disputed liability. An appeal is maintainable. In any event on the view that I have taken, i.e., that the assessee is a domestic company or which the public are substantially interested, the second question would no longer survive. I am informed that the advance tax which had been paid by the assessee would cover the entire tax liability.
