Smt. Subbalakshmi Kurada, ... vs Assistant Commissioner Of Income ... on 8 May, 2020

ITA No.2493/Bang/2019 Page 2 of 6

2. We heard the parties and perused the record. During the year under consideration, the assessee sold a residential house property for a sum of Rs.12.75 crores on 06-11-2015. She purchased another residential house property on 17-02-2016 for Rs.11.02 crores. The new house property was purchased in the joint name of the assessee and her son Shri Kurada Sagar Chakravarthy. The assessee claimed deduction of Rs.8.47 crores u/s 54 of the Act towards the cost of new residential house property against the long term capital gain arising on sale of original house property. Since the new residential house property has been purchased in the name of assessee and her son, the AO restricted the deduction u/s 54 of the Act to 50%, i.e., he allowed deduction to the extent of Rs.4.23 crores only. The Ld CIT(A) also confirmed the same and hence the assessee has filed this appeal.

Manoj Kumar vs The State Of Bihar on 9 April, 2020

The petitioner is an accused in Samastipur Town P.S. Case No. 269 of 2018, registered for the offences punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19079 of 2020(2) dt.09-04-2020 2/6 Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.

My attention has been drawn by Mr. Rakesh Chander Agrawal, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, to page 34 of the present application which is the written statement of the informant and the basis for registration of the First Information Report. It is alleged in the written statement that the informant runs a business in the name and style of Maa Vaishnav Galla Bhandar at Samastipur and deals in supply of mustard oil and other edible oils. The petitioner is the Director of S.B.O. Exports Private Limited, New Delhi. Certain supply was made by the informant to the Company for a sum of Rs.4,96,897/-. The petitioner, in his capacity as Director of the Company, had allegedly issued and delivered, at Samastipur, a cheque on 18.06.2018 in favour of the informant of the said amount of Rs.4,96,897/- for having delivered edible oils to the petitioner. The petitioner had requested the informant to present the cheque for encashment in July, 2018. Allegedly, when he presented the cheque, the same stood dishonoured because of insufficiency of fund in the account of the petitioner. There is statement made by the informant that on the petitioner's request, he had again deposited the cheque for encashment, which again Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19079 of 2020(2) dt.09-04-2020 3/6 stood dishonoured for the same reason. Requisite statutory notice was issued to the petitioner for payment of the amount in question. The petitioner, however, did not pay the amount, which compelled the informant to lodge the First Information Report, the informant alleges.
