Nauharchand Chananram vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax on 6 October, 1970
4. I have quoted earlier the reasons for which it was held that the asses-see's income had to be treated as income from business. Paragraph 6 itself of the order of the Tribunal quoted above shows that it was so held for two reasons. Firstly, that in the assessment years 1964-65 and 1965-66, the Tribunal had held that the income of the assessee received from managing contractors was assessable as " Business " and not from " Other sources ". The second ground was that the Punjab High Court in Nauhar chand Chananram v. CIT[1971] 82 ITR 189, had expressed the view that income from the lease of the kind with which we are concerned must be treated as income from " Business ". The Tribunal thus gave its judgment following the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
