CITATION: | |
Attitude of the Revenue in not returning seized assets despite assessee having succeeded in appeal is clearly arbitrary and shows an attitude of undue harassment to the assessee in the garb of public Revenue. Interest of public revenue does not authorize Revenue Authorities to work without any authority and create or cause all kinds of harassment to innocent people on the pretext of statutory authority |
Pursuant to search and seizure FDRs etc. were seized. Block Assessment was made but on petitioner’s appeal, same was set aside by Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Kanpur, vide order dated 21.2.2008 and that order was confirmed by Tribunal by rejecting Revenue’s appeals. Tribunal also relied on this Court’s judgment in Income Tax Appeal No. 506 of 2008 filed by Revenue which was dismissed. The contention on behalf of petitioner is that entire seizure is wholly illegal and respondents have no authority to retain above mentioned item and, therefore, FDRs and Rs.4,50,000/- seized in cash should be returned to petitioner and her children forthwith. Learned counsel appearing for respondents could not dispute that block assessment was set aside by Commissioner of Income Tax and Revenue lost the matter before Tribunal also. Before the Court also he could not show under what authority respondents have continued to withhold aforesaid FDRs and cash of Rs.4,50,000/-.
(i) Aforesaid attitude on the part of respondents is clearly arbitrary and shows an attitude of undue harassment to petitioner in the garb of public Revenue. Interest of public revenue does not authorize Revenue Authorities to work without any authority and create or cause all kinds of harassment to innocent people on the pretext of statutory authority, Revenue Authorities cannot claim liberty/privilege so as to deprive an individual, his property and that too in a manner, which has been found quite unreasonable and wholly without jurisdiction.
(ii) In view thereof, we find that petitioner has been unduly harassed and withholding by Revenue is illegal, therefore, petitioner is entitled to refund of FDRs and cash amount seized, petitioner also withdrawn unlawfully by respondents from the Bank.
(iii) In the result, writ petition is allowed. Respondents are directed to release all FDRs seized during seizure and also refund the amount in question, if not already released or refunded. In case FDRs and amount in question are not returned or refunded so far, they shall be returned / refunded forthwith without any further delay alongwith interest @ 18% per annum from the date of seizure till the date of actual returned / refund. Respondents shall be at liberty to recover the said amount of interest from the official(s) concerned who is/are found responsible for such negligence and illegal act, after making enquiry as permissible under law. Petitioner shall also be entitled to cost which we quantify to Rs.25,000.
without judiciary the revenue would just eat the tax payer, is very obvious fact
Even with fetters right from CIT(A) on till H C, the revenue chases the tax payer means, it is obvious either revenue is just ignorant of laws or if aware of laws, it is only arbitrary and simply harasses the tax payers, it means it is very high time, the hon HC need to levy exemplary fines besides allow the tax payer to file liquidated damages for time and agony is my considered view.
In view of all these revenue attracious functions, i developed a detailed article, that i am posting here, as i do not know where my articles could be submitted,,,so request pardon me sirs..
WHEN NOTHING IS CERTAIN of PERPETUAL USE (OBVIOUSLY CONTROLLED BY āLOCā; WHAT TAXATION ACHIEVES FOR YOU, YOU NEED TO KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE PERPETUALLY TAXED MORE and MORE FOR THE VERY āSAME OR SIMILARā PURPOSE(S)?
HOW WOULD YOU CALL THIS IS TRUSTWORTHY ā NATIONAL GOVERNANCEā SYSTEM?
By Prof GURU Balakrishnan.
W
Special Notes:
1. Hope, āIndians ā understand what is āLOCā (Line of Control) (in the ancient Krita yuga)
āindian culture), we had .āBrahmma sastharamā) , self imposed self control – even Anjaneya
(Hanuman) accepted when administered by Ravan used on him in Lanka, then he āstood controlledā when Ravanaās soldiers tied his ātail’ and did put fire to it, though he could break the ābrahmmastharamā but he did not, says,ā Ramayanaā, again , we talk Ayodhya Ram Mandir and all thatā why we do not want to impose on ourselves very self same āself controlā , a limitation principle!ā, we need to āself introspectā as we all try to say we follow Hindu (Indian Culture); you canāt be selective Indians!!ā
2 Sri Ram accepted his father Dasarathās dispensation when he has to follow his promised
oath to Khaikeyeā that , as and when she needed he would give in to her wishes.(Law of
Contract obligation) very āreligiouslyā; thus Rama agreed to go to 14 years to dwelling forests
giving in to Bharatās Coronation, though, however much very Bharat pleaded Ram not to accept the exile, That way , he spent full 14 years in the forest dwels, every one of Indians know this position, ( I wonder how he forgets the āLaw of Contract ā today as such) – Does it mean he wants to cause a ābreach of trustā in a very casual manner?. Besides, Sri Ram respected āSitajiā, and that way he made her golden image to perform āAswamedayagaā then. Sitaji was most respected in the Dasaradhaās household unlike today āBrideā burning or other cruelties are very common today; but we do Sri Ram Bajans as also Sita Bajans – obvious āfarceā drama of 21st century.
3. Marriages are considered to be very sacred contracts like very āBrammasthraā under the
idea of āInstitution of marriagesā and theyāinstitution of the familyā as such – how we talk about ābreaches of such institution of marriage, a sacred contract under āSaptapadiā(āseven stepsā), a some casual contract like, by our so called ādivorce lawsā, though under the institution of marriage has to be till the death of a spouse in the couple, but today, ābreach of marriageā is permitted right royally, doesnāt mean we really treat the Law of Contract itself is a futile exercise – if so why you have different understanding of Law of contract, āMOUā under Societyās registration Act, charitable institutions Act, companies Act, Taxation Act, and what notā¦; obviously we misused and squandered the very ārule of lawā as such is obvious, is it not?
4. In āDwapara yuga, when Lord Krishna lived, āpeople did not follow strict laws as such, but
yet, they had very consistent in regard married lives, unlike today, law makers turn into Gods
give dispensations, obviously, in a most degenerated ways; leading to contempt of laws,
meaning āyou are not amenable to any contracts at all todayā .If so, do we at all need
Judiciary at all, very judiciary need to think, if it fails in its obligations of āstrict law of
Contractsā; How theen Art 51A of Part IVA of the Indian Constitution is viable, when it under
so called āJudicial restraint ā allowed all āmush roomingā legislationsā besides so called
āConstitutional amendments. Donāt you think so Mr Judge?, any indian would tend to ask .
5. We mostly live in all āfalsitiesā. Laws ans statutes are not really respected. See what
Karnataka and the Union governments do in respecting SC orders today in Cavery dispute, mostly by ācontemptā that is your modern India which is more consistent in dishonoring the constitution than in its honoring every one knows. India is just some kind of Management only, Why whole world too. India can take some solace when it sees the world as India is some kind of follower, rather than a real āLeaderā like its its glorious past.
āDifference between Policy and routine Management is yet to be known one can see if ? But Governments taxation is o policy but just some Managementā¦ā¦
Policy (Obviously easily reachable objectives with sincere efforts) is like what APJ Abdul Kalam suggested/ advised youth: (So youth in India just
Love him, like a great āTeacherā (Guru))
Policy (a Philosophy) is likely to read like: āthe Pledgeā: (Doing hings Rightly)
(Leadership):
āI will pursue my education,or the work with dedication and I will excel in it;
From now on, I will teach at least 10 persons to āread and writeā,those who
cannot read and write; I will plant, at least 10 saplings to grow trees,in my
Neighbourhood and shall ensure ātheir growthā through constant care; I will visit
rural and urban areas and permanently wean at least 5 persons from āaddictionā,
and āgamblingā; I will constantly endeavor to remove the āpainā, of my suffering
breathern; I will not support any religious,caste or language ādifferentiationā; I will
be honest and endeavor to make a ācorruption freeā society; I will for becoming
an āenlightened citizen and make my family ārighteousā; I will always be a friend of
the mentally and physically challenged, and I work hard (never be lazy) to make
them feel, āNormalā, like the rest of us; will be proudly celebrate the Success of
āMy Countryā and āMy peopleā.ā
āThe (29 year old Saudi Arabian) prince (King Salman) has kept his distance from the Council of Senior Scholars, the mostly elderly clerics who set official religious policy and often release religious opinions that young Saudis mock as being out of touch with modern lifeā reported in Economic Times of 17th October need to be read in , when any policies need to be framed.
India cannot afford any more āspend thriftā(prodigal type) activities of the government of India, by going on increasing civil servants āsalariesā, remuneration by succeeding Pay commissions,(and the likeā¦) as even āvery rich countries like Saudi Arabia is applying stricter( brakes ) control on civil servantsā (pay outs), Inda also need to take note on.in the like manner. Else you just ādebaseā your rupee value ; what kind of Economic growth you talk about is the question comes out of every citizenās mouth in India.
One needs to note, that the State of Maharashtra Mr. Kapil Patil ,MLC of ā Lok Bharathi partyā raised an issue on MLAās on MLCās salary increase Bill before the Council, since increase in salaries is effective from August 2016,( to be effected by a Bill) that is before the Legislative Council says:
ā..about 3.5 lakh crore loan is being faced ā¦ā by the government of
Maharashtra
That loan is being serviced by Rs.28,000 crore interest per annumā
What it speaks about?
He also adds, that the āLaw makers have to serve the people of the state , not to make moneyā ;
One needs to know , from which funds the State is paying 28,000 crores by way of interest.
Obviously that burden is landing on tax payers of Maharashtra, by way of āindirect state taxesā , being levied, is it not, readers?
How 3,5 lakh crores loan is saddled on the state, ne needs to know, if published in the public domain, one will come to know , what are the people centred projects directly benefitting the state people? And what are not that useful in the short run and in long run need to be assessed;
if assessed, the law makers hitherto before the present government, how much moneys ārightly usedā for the direct benefit for the whole state people directly, what are misused one can assess.
So it is high time, CAG, state Accountant General need to report and post the same on the āpublic domainā, then ācat will be out of the bag.
How tax administration, supposed to be beneficial for the citizens of the very state one can assess, is it not?
In that way , one can assess the direct taxes levied in state of Maharashtra by way of āIncome Taxesā is used by the Nation and how much moneys are paid to the State from that kitty will be out.
One needs to assess, why tax payers are to be ātaxedā for wasted funds, on so called āfreebeesā reservations, and all kinds of largesse one can quantify why very CAG can report to the people, will be the big question;
why the very Constitutional Courts cannot by āSuo motuā recognize, and question the relevant governments is another question before the very citizens of India, on behalf of the citizens very CAG can answer the questions besides the ministry of finance of relevant states as also by the union government is public view of people of India under the very Art 265 r/w Art 14 r/w Art 226 and Art 32 for ājudicial reviewā .
Even GST itself is a big controversial issue, as it also needs additional ācessā, that information is available in the GST conference of Union and States meet which is on now .
Simple pontification type lectures by any cannot satisfy any individual citizen as he definitely has his own āindividual rights under very fundamental rights, as is asserted by very PM Mr. Narendra Modi;
What ever individual rights PM enjoys as a citizen is equally applicable to every citizen right up to a street beggar, as long as he or she is a citizen under Art 5 of the very Constitution of India, is it not?
We all know what Mr Gopal Subramaniam as an Amicus curie rightly submitted on the BCCI matter the other day, āBCCI committed serious contempt of the court, when it is playing hide and seek on āLodha panel recommendations, by not strictly following honorable Apex court Orders, āBCCI shall implement the Lodha Panel recommendationsā; when BCCI avoids, he suggested to the honorable court, ājust dismiss the BCCI as also state boards and appoint Administrators, to handle the administration of all cricket boards in India and once the Administrators boards rightly implemented the Lodha panel recommendations which recommendation obviously āNot Governmentsā interferenceā but Apex Court Orders valid for the Country as Judiciary is independent of any, Government, obviously asserted when it declared āultra viresā the very NJAC Act and the relevant Constitutional amendment.
One can note as well the very court in Madras Bar Association v National Tax Tribunal matter , just declared the very Act is again āultra viresā for reasons stated therein.
Obviously , Any court orders cannot be treated as āGovernment Orders or so called āgovernment interference at all, after all every government cannot survive more than than 5 years since governments are formed by elected representatives is again obvious, is it not?
Therefore when the so called BCCI is not able to understand the difference of the court order and the government interference, it is obvious Mr Gopal Subramaniam rightly suggested for dismissal of these so called āCricket Boardsā as these boards so far acted āarbitrarily ā is again very obvious. These boars misused āpublic fundsā is again obvious; indeed, committed āserious breach of trustsā Act and violated very Society registration Acts, so obviously, these trusts can be summarily dismissed and the relevant boards ādirectorsā brought to justice, as most of the directors, behaved like Mr. Trump of the USA where he is contesting President election, once election is over there the new president at the āwhite houseā would order āarrest of Mr Trump if he is not elected as the president of the USA, obviously USA citizens cannot be taken for granted like Indian citizens are taken for granted. Any wrong doers would be brought to justice, justice no where is the government domain, but it the National perception of the people so they keep the judiciary obviously separate from any governments why even the legislatures any where is any where is accepted Judicial theory.
So, the Taxation funds if are misused by any , that Authority need to be liable to be brought before justice , None can deny, is it not?
That way , I discuss further here the Justice Mr Gopal Gowdaās lecture he delivered some where and reported in a taxation journal (s) recently, below:
Good college type lecture indeed by Justice Mr Gowda of honorable Supreme court, in some lecture he gave in some place.. .
Normally āLeadersā are like āDr APJ Abdul Kalamā;
Leader normally is one āwho like the āomeā climbs the ātallest treeā, surveys the entire situation, and yells , āWrong Jungleā;
Manager is one who like the āoneā who who is a āproducer, or a Manager often respondā¦āShut upā! We are āMaking Progressā
Governance is like a leadership , needs to be careful not to be in the āWrong Jungleā; only right āleaderā can be the one to govern a state; that is what every voter who gives vote to him, one needs to realize.
Lectures mostly are some kind of pontification – not achievable paradigms or principles like the Finance Acts, an every year āritualā, which is āmanaged ā by the āpublic servantsā like managers;
Managers try to achieve those āthoughtsā rightly and speedilyā, Like that kind Managers are the Ministers as also MPs or MLAs.
But the Finance Acts are equally some āmanagement thought only, basically to corner āsome huge tax funds through āTaxationā , talking some āunachievable ideas as objectivesā, indeed is very ācostlyā effort on taxpaying publicā;
Mostly many āobjectivesā remain as āunfinished objectsā as ever, as āsome unfinished projectsā are – Highways, jobs, Employments (How you will generate more and more Jobs, when the āArtificial intelligenceā takes over, year over year (YOY), is reducing the number of employees, under one pretext or some āploysā, after all, it is a easily known fact;
– when āmechanisationā takes over progressively mostly in a āgeometrical wayā, while man power can āArithmetically progressively develop things better; obviously;
āMan power cannot over take Machine powerā;
that way textile workers/labor, lost their jobs to āmachine drivenā spindles,looms etc; (Obviously you, as politicians cheat the people, progressively!, that cannot go for ever), every reasonable person says.
He says taxation is some ā Management based ideaā only; So it is obviously practiced today as a āmanagementā tool, by politicians as political business men;
.
Management means, āDoing things rightlyā. is accepted view all over the world..
Without people, no government can generate any āresourceā anywhere:
Therefore, Americans say,in crystal clear terms, āDonāt depend on governments; but you ought to depend on you, only.
Why Indians donāt understand?.
Any ārag pickerā (Never depends on any government but on Rubbish bins/dust bins on roads; like any Manager does; so also some āroads or public groundsā do provide food);
āDoes the managementā of his food and roof, are being handled by him like a Manager does;
as he gets what he needs at any dust or rubbish bins or set of dust bins, strewn on the roads.
He does real āphysical managementā, without wasting his time in some MBA college/schools.
But well to do does,thinking some more āartsā to know how to cheat fellow businesses or fellow people, as also now misuse HRD ideas of so called ācost cuttingā (reducing man power), by obviously āwasting ātime and moneyā in some college/schools, for his āso called recognizedā MBA degrees (mean nothing);
MBA degree never teaches any real āLeadership skillsā, is very obvious great fact;
Leadership is based on some āPhilosophy of some āpolicyā, individually developed āperspectives;
Government without sensible āLeadership skill based policyā; obviously any āgovernanceā is no better than ārag pickersā paradiseā only.
That way āTaxation ā is today.
Therefore āNothing Great great about āTaxationā but politicians really rob the people one way or the otherā.
Government wastes just āTax payers fundsā like a rag picker throws away what is not needed from ādust binā, once rag picker uses what he needed; but tax payer indeed cannot throw away his hard earned moneys, like one throws oneās waste items , waste is the owner doesnāt need that āstuffā;
Tax is a proved āfree moneyā, (like in dust bins the material is not bought) the Government earns by so called āAuthoritative Tax policiesā, under so called āTaxation legislations, and rules framed time and again, every year, year over year basis; and gets enforced on Tax payers arbitrarily.
You could have seen in a case Dr⦠Gautam Senā¦ā¦…v/s CIT, the CCIT issues how sec 158 Notice, is misused by CCIIT, āas ifā, his AO found āunaccounted cashā; and he forced the tax payer to pay the ā court fees revenue need to incurā ; the CCIT wanted to pocket that āmuch money;
But the Bombay High Court found out the āRevenue never accused in its reportā that the tax payer,had no āunaccounted moneyā;
But the CCIT manipulated that the tax payer had āunaccounted cash moneyā in his possession ;
so the Court recently levied fine on CCIT, as CCIT obviously wanted to pocket the court litigation expenses (fees) or other expenses , the CCIT wanted to get from the very tax payer – what you call ?,
Do you call that ā the CCIT, is better than a āBeggarā resorting to looting the man on the high way, as if it is his right to loot the āman on the streetā ;
as he did not carry enough cash to appease the ābeggarā: in fact Governments taxations resort that kind or ārobsā;
so these ātaxesā are more or less similar kind great āArbitrary Management practicesā only , certainly any one would agree;
āGovernments under so called āTaxationā tries to wipe out any tax payersā savings under the so called āTaxation ā laws and rules arbitrarilyā framed,;
just to, illegally pocket the tax payers funds, for the MPs or MLAs arbitrary hikes in their salaries and perquisites do qualify;
besides, the so called āexemptionsā given to corporate and āfreebiesā given to some āvotersā (who never understand mostly);
obviously some great ābig leaksā they are (freebees) on the ātax payers fundsā only.
As a result, do we not realize, how the so called āTaxationā is all about;
What are for purposes?.
We canāt pontificate that tax funds via ;Taxation ā is a āgreat public use purposeā idea only;
Most tax funds taken from the tax payers obviously is to promote illegal trafficking of tax funds in all kinds of āprodigal activitiesā of so called governments;
which uses some so called ālawsā or ārulesā, which are dutifully managed through the tax courts, saying āyou shall abide by the so called ātax lawsā and rules again some so called āprocedural lawsā;
you call these ārulesā as the so called ālegislative intentā and so onā, you interpret by the so called ātaxation jurisprudenceā unknowingly what you dispense as justice;
This kind of effort only invited the āFrench Revolutionā in the 14th century France , wherein King Louis IV of France and his queen as also so called ālaw makersā suffered āBastile’ prison sentencesā ;
Many including the King and Nobles were beheaded in the cold blood by Robert Speare court in France; He was himself a public spirited man in France then;
, you may ārecallā at France; and you all might recollect;
Any āarbitrary taxingā would invite peoples wrath every one needs to know;
Courts cannot just āpontificateā; then courts too face peoplesā wrath, earlier realized it is better, is my humble submission as my āconsidered viewā;
We all know Constitution of India is obviously a āLeadership thought of the Countryā ā ie obviously, āDoing the things Rightlyā Not ādoing things rightly , one needs to know.
You just canāt pontificate, as if āTaxation managementā is great;
so in the USA, then it was said āNo taxation without representationā, idea surfaced, if you recall you may recollect what is the āemphasis;
You might have seen what āMr. Donald Trumpā said about āUSA Taxationā ;
and with that āployā he drove āhomeā , his 18 years āNot payng taxesā as he cheated obviously for the benefit of not being āexploitedā, indeed he exploited as well by avoiding the āTaxationā ;
True many want to cheat the reasonable taxation so a lot of followers emerged as of now, there ;
– but for his ālewd comments or remarks on US women votersā, obviously he misused;
he could have been a great āRepublican Nomineeā , by ādefaultā, to win āpresident nomination from his partyā;
his āindiscretionā on āwomenā and āavoidance of taxes have really been costing like an Albatross on his āelection to white houseā, he might face; every reader needs to know;
āLaw of Contractsā is a badly misused mechanism :
as āNo Contract is legitimately drawn is obvious,
if you appreciate the Nobel winning āContract Theoryā which is no longer a just some ātheoryā, but straight away to be used, to test on its anvil, every contract of any kind in the world; that would obviously show, how many ābreachesā are there in every contract;
So American Constitution realized so it is just some 18 pages document only and not running in 1000s of pages;
How indian āLaw makersā misread, to elaborate without so much necessary fetters on the future politicians in using the āIndian Constitution, by so called misreadings;
like it all started from day one of the Constitution misread that ,came into operation, under the so called āFirst Constitutional Amendmentā which accommodated the so called āSch IVA ā;
which tried to bar the courts āto ensure not to interfere with statutesā passed by the law makers;
when they tried to ensure that the courts canāt interfere their so called āgreat thoughtsā by way of āstatutesā ;
such kind of āqualifying statutes or rulesā that are inserted in the so called, āFinance Billsā every year found in the parliament or legislatures, is it not?
When courts under the so called ideal of ājudicial restraint ā
– donāt question the veracity of any tax statute, but simply give a judicial approval to such āodditiesā by way of H C or S C judgements; even then āthere were so many lacunaes they did find like in the H C judgement I quoted above, item 6 above.
This is the reflection of the view of Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis, any serious āprofessor of āTaxation Economicsā have to āassessā and need to know; else he is bound to guide his students āwrongly.
Obviously today students of Taxation Economics are confused, as they are not rightly guided , like ādoing like right thingsā;
Indeed, professor has to be a āright leaderā in a class not as a so called āManagerā, like any Management Graduate holding some MMS or MBA degrees.
These managers with management degrees just do what management expects , ie ā doing things rightlyā;
Obviously ā āthings are told by Boards, (like BCCI did) may be like a āleaderā but just āa managingā art.
Today so called āPublic servantsā mostly behave like so called āMBA /MMS graduates do in any ācompanyā, by simply calling themselves as if some āso calledā great professionals ;
These so called āpublic servantsā (like CITs), behave like āmanagers in the companiesā – like āEnronā (USA) that is the governments are today.
And such companies , the PSUs of governments,(many just have temerity not to follow SC judgements even in pensions as they use some great āAnderson Consultingā as is found āin the so called CAs and Advocatesā who partake as some āpartners in progressā, with the Political Enron ie is your governments, we boast of;
Anyway āyou feel greatā to be a citizen function under such institutions,that is what Indian Independence ultimately has ended in a matter of about seven decades.
If the Boards of management tell things called ādirectionsāā, like the āManagersā do ; obviously . they will just do like Managers only, means āplenty of drawbacks ā one can visualize, if any real leader observes.
In the past say about 4 or 5 decades before professors were teaching like āLeadersā do;
So they were the āgreat teachersā; but today professors obviously behave like ā managers doā ;
So obviously they are not respected by the very students;
that kind you can see in very Karnataka universities, like Bangalore university, where teachers (professors) are threatened, which Mr Gowda himself knows.
Incidentally i was a UGC resource professor taught in the Bangalore university for about 2 years 2007-2008, then I could meet a lot of university teachers coming as āstaffā for training. They told with tears.
in my next comment , i will explain why taxation system in india is failing. tk
āTaxes are mainly used to finance the expenses incurred by Government to manage an economy.
These expenses include as well: āhealth care, education, transportation and operating Government business entities etc.
Taxation is also used by Government for several other purposes such asā..ā, is stated by the justice Mr. Gopal Gowda;
In one of āmy comment ā, based lectures on Art 311 at the Parliamentary training institute, held in āCapital Hotelā, organised by the Karnataka legislative department, in 2007, at the ārequest āa kind suggestionā of Justice (retd) Mr. Venkatramaiah then, I recall.
In that seminar type many MLAs of Karnataka, besides retd justices of SC as also Karnataka high court attended, as i then, visited Bangalore from Bombay due to my wifeās operation in November 2006, and I had to be there till middle 2008, shutul between Bombay . Bangalore, Bombay, Bangalore, as I am an Advocate of Bombay high court on (Original side), and that way I attended Karnataka high court in some matters as a counsel too.
We all know the ātodayās Contracts, as is understood today is obviously lacking real teath, so a lot of problems in very Contracts tooā;
So ācontractsā basically are not to be regarded as ārightā rounded contract as such, that leads to breaches on and off;
See the very Constitution of India āis a rule of lawā, based contract document, like āMagna Cartaā type of Indiaā peoplesā contract as framed by the well meaning Constituent Assembly,
Most Indian governments ever so many times obviously treated ā fundamental rights'(opted and adopted from Irish Constitution) isā taken for grantedā, when the government in the First constitutional Amendment introduced Sch IXA, to bar the courts in some statutes, that way initial few statutes went on bulging, till 2007;
When in Jan 2007, the CJI Mr YK Sabharwal correctly handled the LR Coelho v St of (Madras) TN, case;
in that constitutional court he simply and rightly declared āsch IXā violated the Indian constitution ;
so declared that sch IX as āultra viresā ; but in the interest of ensuring to control confusion, he allowed some first few 13 or so statutes brought into the said Sch, is permitted to continue as also one CJI K.Subba Rao in the imp case constitutional bench matter. All of you know.
Recent Nobel Prize won on a āContract theoryā (2016) is directly applicable on any contract, all over the world, as no āContractā is rightly constructed, some serious deficiencies can be found in every great contract, if rightly studied and evaluated and assessed.
Your great taxation is also based on āill constructed contactsā.
That can be discussed tested on the anvil of the very Indian Constitution r/w the āContract theoryā now envisioned in the Nobel Prize for Economics;
In fact, Indian Taxation system ādoes not have any sensible reasoning todayā is very obvious;
most of the tax revenue is just diverted to some āfreebeesā by politicians, some meaningless āexemptionsā to corporates, and to some rich and wealthy.
Kaldor theory is not yet properly understood by successive governments; as the governments had some things need to grind their axe, (to grind their axe, in favor of politicians), that way our great āblack moneysā surged;
duly cooperating Accounting and legal community duly assisted the building up of the black money, obviously because of political patronage for wrong ends.
But politicians played in the āblack moneysā idea some great ānew leveragesā, and āduly misusingā āinnocenceā of poor common (Man) citizens; who are always just screwed up āby politicians ploysā, like ārapistsā, who try to handle their victims, and while, they try to get escaped, besides misusing āanticipatory bailsā provisions, duly supported by āprosecuting authoritiesā, who are given āgreatā benefits āthat wayā we misuse laws or /and statutes, as a result, āunconsciouslyā.
See how recent judgement in Meena case on sec 468a in divorce cases is āmisinterpretedā by very great Apex court, recently; simply be misused, the āgoodness of the judgesā, who delivered that judgement on the so called ātermā ācrueltyā of parents;
Obviously it really said in clear terms, ābridesā have to live in the groomās house, obviously the bride has to walk into matrimony house and to live with groomās parents āunder any conditionsā can be interpreted;
while groom need not to stay in brideās parentās house -obvious Art 14, 15 and Art 21 are just misinterpreted or allowed to get āmanipulatedā.
It says ā under Art 5, āwomanā(brides) too are citizens like the men.
Naturally meaningful position would be, under sound reasoning one needs to reason out, that the couple have to live in their own new house where the bride and groom need to stay alone;
so that neither parents are to directly get affected nor they could affect the bride or the groom;
if some problems do arise to parents or if parents face naturally, the parents āneed to be maintained at the levelsā, the bride or groom lives, under very sec 125 of Cr.P.C ;
ā it is not to be āthe concern of the courtā, whether the couple have enough economic competence or āmuscleā, to sustain the expenses, like the court is not concerned with the stateās revenue when the judgement is delivered, same rule need to apply here too;
i do not understand why judges indulge in areas not to be concerned.
If judges are practical the so called false ācrueltyā idea cannot or may not surface; then judicial discipline is to be really just balanced. Nothing more Nothing Less;
You cannot send any one to prison for it affects oneās dignity;
if false complaints allow the illegal imprisoning a person is needed to be visited by exemplary āliquidated damagesā on the one who is responsible including the policemen that way the deterrence could be there, why we are not impartial;
Just because āgreedā( today value is too much attracted for some wealth as such)(in fact wealth comes and goes so it is like some myopic perception only) rules the mind of perpetrators; obviously they need to be taken on by the rule of law,ā¦is my considered view as well.
ā¦I therefore, obviously say that very Taxation Economics (again a myopia) we need to understand and need to be re-written, lest we make serious mistakes in the so called idea of judicial restraints that bedevil the āJudiciary; today,
I understand from media reported, that taxpayers funds in exchequer is practically misused by retired publish servants, if that were so why there need to be perennial taxes, any fool might question? (Ends)
