Income Tax Officer, I Ward, Dist, Vi, ... vs Lakhmani Mewal Das on 30 March, 1976
VI Calcutta & Others v. Lakhmani Mewal Das,
103 I.T.R. 437. Hidayatullah, J. as the learned Chief
Justice then was, observed in Calcutta Discount's case
(supra) that mere production of evidence before the Income-
tax Officer was not enough, that there may be omission or
failure to make a true and full disclosure, if some material
for the assessment lay embedded in the evidence which the
revenue could have uncovered but did not, then, it is the
duty of the assessee to bring it to the notice of the
assessing authority. Assessee knows all the material and
relevant facts - the assessing authority might not. In
respect of the failure to disclose, the omission to disclose
may be deliberate or inadvertent. That was immaterial. But
if there is omission to disclose material facts, then,
subject to the other conditions, jurisdiction to re-open is
attracted.
Calcutta Discount Company Limited vs Income-Tax Officer, Companies ... on 1 November, 1960
The real question, therefore, is whether there
were facts from which it could be believed that there was
failure or omission to disclose fully and truly all material
facts necessary for the assessment as a result of which
income has escaped assessment. The assessment was sought to
be re-opened for the years 1955-56 to 1962-63 (for failure
to disclose fully and truly all material facts). It is well-
settled that the obligation of the assessee is to disclose
only primary
630
facts and not inferential facts - See Calcutta Discount Co.
Ltd. v. Income Tax Officer Companies District I, Calcutta
and Another, 41 I.T.R. 191. There must be, therefore, (a)
full disclosure, and (b) true disclosure of all material
facts. What facts are material for a particular case would
depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case, (c)
there must be escapement of tax or under assessment due to
such failure or omission.

Raja Mohammad Amir Ahmed Khan vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax, U.P. on 7 August, 1962
The assessee's contention is that the I.T.O. could have
found out the position by further probing. That, however,
does not exonerate the assessee to make full disclosure
truly. The explanation 2 to section 147 of the Act makes the
position abundantly clear. The principles have also been
well-settled and reiterated in numerous decisions of this
Court. See Hazi Amir Moh. Mir Ahmed v. Commissioner of
Income-tax, Amritsar, 110 I.T.R. 630 and Income-Tax Officer
I Ward, Distt.
