Raja Bejoy Singh Dudhuria vs The Commissioner Of Income-Tax on 10 March, 1932

This decision was cited as in that judgment, a number of reported decisions on the question of diversion of income by overriding title starting from Raja Bijoy Singh Dudhuria v. CIT [1933] 1 ITR 1 35 (PC) Raja Bijoy Singh Dudhuria v. CIT [1933] 1 ITR 1 35 (PC) were considered. Learned advocate for the assessee contended on the other hand that on a proper construction of the agreements between the assessee and its foreign buyers, it would be apparent that the amounts of excise duty rebate and customs duty drawbacks at no time became or could be deemed to be the income of the assessee. Under the said agreements, the assessee could only collect and receive the amounts of rebate and drawback on behalf of its foreign buyers and it was specifically provided in the agreements that the same would be refunded to the foreign buyers after the permission of the Reserve Bank was obtained. The said amounts, it was contended, were diverted at source by an overriding title in favour of the foreign buyers who owned the said amounts under the agreements.

(e) CIT v. Travancore Sugars and Chemicals Ltd. . In this case, the assessee entered into an agreement with the Government of Travancore whereby the assets of a sugar company controlled by the Government as also of a distillery and tincture factory run by the Government were agreed to be sold to the assessee.

The assessee was required to sell the products of the distillery to the Government at a price to be fixed by the latter and also the medical products at stipulated prices.

Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Bombay ... vs Crawford Bayley & Co. on 14 March, 1976

(f) CIT v. Crawford Bayley & Co. [1977] 106 ITR 884 (Bom). The assessee in this case was a partnership firm constituted under a deed. On the death of one of the partners, a new partnership deed was executed. On the death of another partner, a supplementary deed was executed subsequently. The first two deeds provided for certain payments to the widows of the deceased partners. Payments were made accordingly and in the assessment years involved, the assessee claimed deduction in respect of such payments. On these facts, it was held by a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court on a reference that the rule of diversion of income by an overriding charge was applicable in the case. It was held that the payments to the widows were not dependent upon the profits and losses of the assessee but were absolute obligations and had to be honoured even though there might not be any profits made by the assessee in any particular year. This absolute obligation was in the nature of an enforceable trust. This was not a case where the obligation arose to make payment out of the income after it was earned. It was held that the deductions claimed by the assessee were allowable.

Commissioner Of Income Tax, (Central) ... vs Bijli Cotton Mills (P) Ltd., Hathras., ... on 7 November, 1978

The Supreme Court further held that the fact that the payment of dharmada was compulsory, that the assessee had discretion as regards the manner and the time when the amount collected on such account would be spent and that the assessee did not keep the amounts collected in a separate bank account would not lead to the inference that the assessee had no obligation to utilise the amounts exclusively for charitable purpose.

Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Karam Chand Thapar & Bros. (P.) Ltd. on 27 July, 1978

(i) CIT v. Karam Chand Thapar & Bros. (Coal Sales) Ltd. . The assessee in this case acted as a del credere agent of the collieries and arranged for sales of coal to the consumers. In cases where the collieries charged freight on a weight greater than the coal actually supplied, the assessee used to lodge claims with the said collieries for refund of the extra freight and collected the same. Where the consignees concerned claimed from the assessee such extra freight refunded, the same was paid by the assessee and where there was no such claim, the extra freight refunded remained in the account of the assessee. At the end of every three years, the amounts collected by the assessee on account of refund of extra freight which were not claimed by the consignees were transferred to the profit and loss account of the assessee. On these facts, the question arose whether the said amounts accumulated in the accounts of the assessee were taxable in the hands of the assessee as its assessable income. On these facts, a Division Bench of this court held that the amounts collected on account of extra freight charged from the collieries had been received by the assessee as an agent and in a fiduciary capacity vis-a-vis the consignees. Such amounts did not constitute trading receipts. Accordingly, neither the surplus of the unpaid receipts nor the amounts transferred by the assessee to its profit and loss account could be assessed as income of the assessee.
