Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Bombay ... vs Balraj Sahani on 26 February, 1979

7. The assessee took up the matter before the CIT (A) who reproduced the various relevant portion of the assessment order as well as the written submissions of the assessee made before the CIT (A). Thereafter, the CIT (A) noted that the assessee sold goods at Rs. 5,052.78 on credit to M/s. Biswas Bros. of Dharmanagar and the goods were despatched by Rail, the assessee being the consignor and the Dharmanagar party as the consignee. He also noted that in respect of the cash sales of Rs. 24,250, effected on 15-3-1977, the goods were despatched by M/s. Biswas Bros., Dharmanagar and he was both consignor and consignee. The CIT (A) observed that there is sufficient force in the submission of the assessee that in case the goods worth Rs. 24,250 were sold on credit, the same could have been despatched by the assessee along with other goods being the consignor and not by M/s. Biswas Bors., who happened to be both the consignor and consignee in respect of goods sold worth Rs. 24,250. The CIT (A) observed that on the facts of the case and in view of the decision of the Honble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT v. Balraj Sahani [1979] 119 ITR 36 which facts were identical with those of the assessee and in view of the judgment of the Honble Gauhati High Court in the case of CIT v. Gajanand Shyamlal [1978] 111 ITR 816, the CIT (A) concluded that the penalty was unjustified and the same was cancelled. Hence, this appeal by the revenue.

Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Gajanand Shyamlal on 28 June, 1976

15. The facts of the present case were different and distinguishable from those of the Gajanand Shyamlal case (supra) relied on by the CIT (A) in cancelling the penalty in which on the facts of that case, it was found that there was no positive evidence to show that the income had been earned not in the earlier years but in the assessment year concerned and that there was also no evidence to show that it pertained to the concealed income of the assessee firm and not of the partners and the penalty was cancelled. In that decided case the ITO had not accepted the contention of that assessee to spread over certain income over some years. It was observed by the Honble High Court that the assessee Gajanand Shyamlal surrendered amounts for taxation because that assessee was unable to prove the genuineness of the loans and could not conclusively prove these credits and, therefore, the assessee submitted that these amounts might be subject to tax. The Appellate Tribunal found that there was no admission as such that the assessee concealed its income. It was also observed by the Honble High Court that the ITO may charge an income offered by the assessee to be taxed as its income, but such an offer of cash credit to be taxed under section 68 made by the assessee, is by itself not sufficient to lead to the presumption that the assessee admitted that such credit was its income for the relevant previous years and that he had concealed that income.

Gumani Ram Siri Ram vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax on 14 February, 1973

9. The assessees learned counsel, on the other hand, supports the order of the CIT (A) stressing the point that the ratio of the decisions relied on by the CIT (A) in his order would equally be applicable to the facts of the instant case. According to the assessee, agreeing to make addition would not tantamount to concealment now would attract the penal provisions. It is submitted that surrendering of the above amount was made in good faith and in view of the fact that at that stage, the assessee could not lead evidence or witnesses, in the circumstances stated. On behalf of the assessee, reliance is placed on the decision of the Honble Punjab & Haryana High Court in the case of Gumani Ram Siri Ram v. CIT [1972] 85 ITR 67 in which amongst other things, it was held therefore penalty was imposed, the ITO had to consider the entirety of the circumstances of the case to show that the assessee had consciously concealed the particulars or had deliberately furnished inaccurate particulars of income. It was held by the Honble High Court that penalty cannot be imposed merely because the cash deposits were surrendered by the assessee unless there was material on the record to show that the surrendered item was income of the assessee. Further reliance is placed on the decision of the Honble Andhra Pradesh High Court in the case as reported in which on the facts of that case it was held that penalty was not justified. It was noted that agreement by the assessee to assessment at higher figure than the returned income is not sufficient for levy of penalty and there was no evidence of concealment of income and as such no penalty can be imposed.

Choudhary Sahu (Dead) By Lrs vs State Of Bihar on 14 December, 1981

20. It may be mentioned that in the earlier preceding paragraph, we have repeatedly stated that the assessee requested the ITO to treat the above amount of Rs. 24,250 as income of the assessee for the assessment year 1977-78, on the basis it had no further evidence to produce and requested the ITO also not to give further opportunity to produce witnesses in support of the earlier contentions. In other words, the assessee has taken the pleading that the above amount was the income of the assessee for the assessment year 1977-78. That pleading of the assessee is binding. Of course, we have to take the entire pleading as a whole keeping in view the decision of the Honble Supreme Court in the case of Choudhary Sahu v. State of Bihar AIR 1982 SC 98 and also in another decision in the case of Mahendra Manilal Nanavati v. Sushila Mahendra Nanavati AIR 1965 SC 364 as decided by the Honble Supreme Court.
