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by Revenue is illegal, therefore, petitioner is entitled to refund of FDRs and cash amount seized, petitioner also withdrawn unlawfully by respondents from the Bank.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.

  1. without judiciary the revenue would just eat the tax payer, is very obvious fact

  2. 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.

  3. 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 ā€˜LOCā€™; WHAT TAXATION ACHIEVES FOR YOU, YOU NEED TO KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE PERPETUALLY TAXED MORE and MORE FOR THE VERY ā€˜SAME OR SIMILARā€™ PURPOSE(S)?

    HOW WOULD YOU CALL THIS IS TRUSTWORTHY ā€œ NATIONAL GOVERNANCEā€ SYSTEM?
    By Prof GURU Balakrishnan.
    W
    Special Notes:

    1. Hope, ā€˜Indians ā€˜ understand what is ā€˜LOCā€™ (Line of Control) (in the ancient Krita yuga)
    ā€˜indian culture), we had .ā€™Brahmma sastharamā€™) , self imposed self control – even Anjaneya
    (Hanuman) accepted when administered by Ravan used on him in Lanka, then he ā€˜stood controlledā€™ when Ravanaā€™s soldiers tied his ā€˜tail’ and did put fire to it, though he could break the ā€˜brahmmastharamā€™ 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 ā€˜self controlā€™ , a limitation principle!ā€™, we need to ā€˜self introspectā€™ as we all try to say we follow Hindu (Indian Culture); you canā€™t be selective Indians!!ā€™

    2 Sri Ram accepted his father Dasarathā€™s 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 ā€˜religiouslyā€™; thus Rama agreed to go to 14 years to dwelling forests
    giving in to Bharatā€™s 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 ā€˜Law of Contract ā€˜ today as such) – Does it mean he wants to cause a ā€˜breach of trustā€™ in a very casual manner?. Besides, Sri Ram respected ā€˜Sitajiā€™, and that way he made her golden image to perform ā€˜Aswamedayagaā€™ then. Sitaji was most respected in the Dasaradhaā€™s household unlike today ā€˜Brideā€™ burning or other cruelties are very common today; but we do Sri Ram Bajans as also Sita Bajans – obvious ā€˜farceā€™ drama of 21st century.

    3. Marriages are considered to be very sacred contracts like very ā€˜Brammasthraā€™ under the
    idea of ā€˜Institution of marriagesā€™ and theyā€˜institution of the familyā€™ as such – how we talk about ā€˜breaches of such institution of marriage, a sacred contract under ā€˜Saptapadiā€™(ā€˜seven stepsā€™), a some casual contract like, by our so called ā€˜divorce lawsā€™, though under the institution of marriage has to be till the death of a spouse in the couple, but today, ā€˜breach of marriageā€™ is permitted right royally, doesnā€™t mean we really treat the Law of Contract itself is a futile exercise – if so why you have different understanding of Law of contract, ā€˜MOUā€™ under Societyā€™s registration Act, charitable institutions Act, companies Act, Taxation Act, and what notā€¦; obviously we misused and squandered the very ā€˜rule of lawā€™ as such is obvious, is it not?

    4. In ā€˜Dwapara yuga, when Lord Krishna lived, ā€˜people 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 ā€˜you 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 ā€˜strict law of
    Contractsā€™; How theen Art 51A of Part IVA of the Indian Constitution is viable, when it under
    so called ā€˜Judicial restraint ā€˜ allowed all ā€˜mush roomingā€™ legislationsā€™ besides so called
    ā€˜Constitutional amendments. Donā€™t you think so Mr Judge?, any indian would tend to ask .

    5. We mostly live in all ā€˜falsitiesā€™. 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 ā€˜contemptā€™ 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 ā€˜Leaderā€™ like its its glorious past.

    ā€œDifference 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 ā€˜Teacherā€™ (Guru))

    Policy (a Philosophy) is likely to read like: ā€˜the Pledgeā€™: (Doing hings Rightly)
    (Leadership):

    ā€˜I 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 ā€˜read and writeā€™,those who
    cannot read and write; I will plant, at least 10 saplings to grow trees,in my
    Neighbourhood and shall ensure ā€˜their growthā€™ through constant care; I will visit
    rural and urban areas and permanently wean at least 5 persons from ā€˜addictionā€™,
    and ā€˜gamblingā€™; I will constantly endeavor to remove the ā€˜painā€™, of my suffering
    breathern; I will not support any religious,caste or language ā€˜differentiationā€™; I will
    be honest and endeavor to make a ā€˜corruption freeā€™ society; I will for becoming
    an ā€˜enlightened citizen and make my family ā€˜righteousā€™; I will always be a friend of
    the mentally and physically challenged, and I work hard (never be lazy) to make
    them feel, ā€˜Normalā€™, like the rest of us; will be proudly celebrate the Success of
    ā€˜My Countryā€™ and ā€˜My peopleā€™.ā€™

    ā€˜The (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 ā€˜spend thriftā€™(prodigal type) activities of the government of India, by going on increasing civil servants ā€˜salariesā€™, remuneration by succeeding Pay commissions,(and the likeā€¦) as even ā€˜very 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 ā€˜debaseā€™ your rupee value ; what kind of Economic growth you talk about is the question comes out of every citizenā€™s 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 MLAā€™s on MLCā€™s 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 ā€˜Law 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 ā€˜indirect 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 ā€˜rightly 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 ā€˜public domainā€™, then ā€˜cat 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 ā€˜Income 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 ā€˜taxedā€™ for wasted funds, on so called ā€˜freebeesā€™ 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 ā€˜Suo 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 ā€˜judicial reviewā€™ .

    Even GST itself is a big controversial issue, as it also needs additional ā€˜cessā€™, 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 ā€˜individual 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, ā€˜BCCI committed serious contempt of the court, when it is playing hide and seek on ā€˜Lodha panel recommendations, by not strictly following honorable Apex court Orders, ā€˜BCCI shall implement the Lodha Panel recommendationsā€™; when BCCI avoids, he suggested to the honorable court, ā€˜just 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 ā€˜Not Governmentsā€™ interferenceā€™ but Apex Court Orders valid for the Country as Judiciary is independent of any, Government, obviously asserted when it declared ā€˜ultra 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 ā€˜ultra viresā€™ for reasons stated therein.

    Obviously , Any court orders cannot be treated as ā€˜Government Orders or so called ā€˜government 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 ā€˜Cricket Boardsā€™ as these boards so far acted ā€˜arbitrarily ā€˜ is again very obvious. These boars misused ā€˜public fundsā€™ is again obvious; indeed, committed ā€˜serious breach of trustsā€™ Act and violated very Society registration Acts, so obviously, these trusts can be summarily dismissed and the relevant boards ā€˜directorsā€™ 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 ā€˜white houseā€™ would order ā€˜arrest 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 Gowdaā€™s 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 ā€˜Leadersā€™ are like ā€˜Dr APJ Abdul Kalamā€™;
    Leader normally is one ā€˜who like the ā€˜omeā€™ climbs the ā€˜tallest treeā€™, surveys the entire situation, and yells , ā€˜Wrong Jungleā€™;
    Manager is one who like the ā€˜oneā€™ who who is a ā€˜producer, or a Manager often respondā€¦ā€™Shut upā€™! We are ā€˜Making Progressā€™
    Governance is like a leadership , needs to be careful not to be in the ā€˜Wrong Jungleā€™; only right ā€˜leaderā€™ 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 ā€˜ritualā€™, which is ā€˜managed ā€˜ by the ā€˜public servantsā€™ like managers;

    Managers try to achieve those ā€˜thoughtsā€™ rightly and speedilyā€™, Like that kind Managers are the Ministers as also MPs or MLAs.

    But the Finance Acts are equally some ā€˜management thought only, basically to corner ā€˜some huge tax funds through ā€˜Taxationā€™ , talking some ā€˜unachievable ideas as objectivesā€™, indeed is very ā€˜costlyā€™ effort on taxpaying publicā€™;

    Mostly many ā€˜objectivesā€™ remain as ā€˜unfinished objectsā€™ as ever, as ā€˜some unfinished projectsā€™ are – Highways, jobs, Employments (How you will generate more and more Jobs, when the ā€˜Artificial intelligenceā€™ takes over, year over year (YOY), is reducing the number of employees, under one pretext or some ā€˜ploysā€™, after all, it is a easily known fact;

    – when ā€˜mechanisationā€™ takes over progressively mostly in a ā€˜geometrical wayā€™, while man power can ā€˜Arithmetically progressively develop things better; obviously;
    ā€˜Man power cannot over take Machine powerā€™;
    that way textile workers/labor, lost their jobs to ā€˜machine 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 ā€˜managementā€™ tool, by politicians as political business men;
    .
    Management means, ā€˜Doing things rightlyā€™. is accepted view all over the world..
    Without people, no government can generate any ā€˜resourceā€™ anywhere:
    Therefore, Americans say,in crystal clear terms, ā€˜Donā€™t depend on governments; but you ought to depend on you, only.
    Why Indians donā€™t understand?.
    Any ā€˜rag pickerā€™ (Never depends on any government but on Rubbish bins/dust bins on roads; like any Manager does; so also some ā€˜roads or public groundsā€™ do provide food);
    ā€˜Does 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 ā€˜physical managementā€™, without wasting his time in some MBA college/schools.

    But well to do does,thinking some more ā€˜artsā€™ to know how to cheat fellow businesses or fellow people, as also now misuse HRD ideas of so called ā€˜cost cuttingā€™ (reducing man power), by obviously ā€˜wasting ā€˜time and moneyā€™ in some college/schools, for his ā€˜so called recognizedā€™ MBA degrees (mean nothing);
    MBA degree never teaches any real ā€˜Leadership skillsā€™, is very obvious great fact;
    Leadership is based on some ā€˜Philosophy of some ā€˜policyā€™, individually developed ā€˜perspectives;
    Government without sensible ā€˜Leadership skill based policyā€™; obviously any ā€˜governanceā€™ is no better than ā€˜rag pickersā€™ paradiseā€™ only.
    That way ā€˜Taxation ā€˜ is today.
    Therefore ā€˜Nothing Great great about ā€˜Taxationā€™ but politicians really rob the people one way or the otherā€™.
    Government wastes just ā€˜Tax payers fundsā€™ like a rag picker throws away what is not needed from ā€˜dust binā€™, once rag picker uses what he needed; but tax payer indeed cannot throw away his hard earned moneys, like one throws oneā€™s waste items , waste is the owner doesnā€™t need that ā€˜stuffā€™;
    Tax is a proved ā€˜free moneyā€™, (like in dust bins the material is not bought) the Government earns by so called ā€˜Authoritative Tax policiesā€™, under so called ā€˜Taxation 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 Drā€¦ Gautam Senā€¦ā€¦…v/s CIT, the CCIT issues how sec 158 Notice, is misused by CCIIT, ā€˜as ifā€™, his AO found ā€˜unaccounted cashā€™; and he forced the tax payer to pay the ā€˜ court fees revenue need to incurā€™ ; the CCIT wanted to pocket that ā€˜much money;
    But the Bombay High Court found out the ā€˜Revenue never accused in its reportā€™ that the tax payer,had no ā€˜unaccounted moneyā€™;
    But the CCIT manipulated that the tax payer had ā€˜unaccounted 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 ā€˜Beggarā€™ resorting to looting the man on the high way, as if it is his right to loot the ā€˜man on the streetā€™ ;
    as he did not carry enough cash to appease the ā€˜beggarā€™: in fact Governments taxations resort that kind or ā€˜robsā€™;
    so these ā€˜taxesā€™ are more or less similar kind great ā€˜Arbitrary Management practicesā€™ only , certainly any one would agree;
    ā€˜Governments under so called ā€˜Taxationā€™ tries to wipe out any tax payersā€™ savings under the so called ā€˜Taxation 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 ā€˜exemptionsā€™ given to corporate and ā€˜freebiesā€™ given to some ā€˜votersā€™ (who never understand mostly);
    obviously some great ā€˜big leaksā€™ they are (freebees) on the ā€˜tax payers fundsā€™ only.
    As a result, do we not realize, how the so called ā€˜Taxationā€™ is all about;
    What are for purposes?.
    We canā€™t pontificate that tax funds via ;Taxation ā€˜ is a ā€˜great 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 ā€˜prodigal activitiesā€™ of so called governments;

    which uses some so called ā€˜lawsā€™ or ā€˜rulesā€™, which are dutifully managed through the tax courts, saying ā€˜you shall abide by the so called ā€˜tax lawsā€™ and rules again some so called ā€˜procedural lawsā€™;
    you call these ā€˜rulesā€™ as the so called ā€˜legislative intentā€™ and so onā€™, you interpret by the so called ā€˜taxation jurisprudenceā€™ unknowingly what you dispense as justice;
    This kind of effort only invited the ā€˜French Revolutionā€™ in the 14th century France , wherein King Louis IV of France and his queen as also so called ā€˜law makersā€™ suffered ā€˜Bastile’ 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 ā€˜recallā€™ at France; and you all might recollect;
    Any ā€˜arbitrary taxingā€™ would invite peoples wrath every one needs to know;
    Courts cannot just ā€˜pontificateā€™; then courts too face peoplesā€™ wrath, earlier realized it is better, is my humble submission as my ā€˜considered viewā€™;

    We all know Constitution of India is obviously a ā€˜Leadership thought of the Countryā€™ ā€“ ie obviously, ā€˜Doing the things Rightlyā€™ Not ā€˜doing things rightly , one needs to know.
    You just canā€™t pontificate, as if ā€˜Taxation managementā€™ is great;

    so in the USA, then it was said ā€˜No taxation without representationā€™, idea surfaced, if you recall you may recollect what is the ā€˜emphasis;
    You might have seen what ā€˜Mr. Donald Trumpā€™ said about ā€˜USA Taxationā€™ ;
    and with that ā€˜ployā€™ he drove ā€˜homeā€™ , his 18 years ā€˜Not payng taxesā€™ as he cheated obviously for the benefit of not being ā€˜exploitedā€™, indeed he exploited as well by avoiding the ā€˜Taxationā€™ ;
    True many want to cheat the reasonable taxation so a lot of followers emerged as of now, there ;
    – but for his ā€˜lewd comments or remarks on US women votersā€™, obviously he misused;
    he could have been a great ā€˜Republican Nomineeā€™ , by ā€˜defaultā€™, to win ā€˜president nomination from his partyā€™;
    his ā€˜indiscretionā€™ on ā€˜womenā€™ and ā€˜avoidance of taxes have really been costing like an Albatross on his ā€˜election to white houseā€™, he might face; every reader needs to know;
    ā€˜Law of Contractsā€™ is a badly misused mechanism :
    as ā€˜No Contract is legitimately drawn is obvious,
    if you appreciate the Nobel winning ā€˜Contract Theoryā€™ which is no longer a just some ā€˜theoryā€™, 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 ā€˜breachesā€™ 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 ā€˜Law makersā€™ misread, to elaborate without so much necessary fetters on the future politicians in using the ā€˜Indian Constitution, by so called misreadings;

    like it all started from day one of the Constitution misread that ,came into operation, under the so called ā€˜First Constitutional Amendmentā€™ which accommodated the so called ā€˜Sch IVA ā€˜;
    which tried to bar the courts ā€˜to ensure not to interfere with statutesā€™ passed by the law makers;
    when they tried to ensure that the courts canā€™t interfere their so called ā€˜great thoughtsā€™ by way of ā€˜statutesā€™ ;
    such kind of ā€˜qualifying statutes or rulesā€™ that are inserted in the so called, ā€˜Finance Billsā€™ every year found in the parliament or legislatures, is it not?
    When courts under the so called ideal of ā€˜judicial restraint ā€™
    – donā€™t question the veracity of any tax statute, but simply give a judicial approval to such ā€˜odditiesā€™ by way of H C or S C judgements; even then ā€˜there 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 ā€˜professor of ā€˜Taxation Economicsā€™ have to ā€˜assessā€™ and need to know; else he is bound to guide his students ā€˜wrongly.

    Obviously today students of Taxation Economics are confused, as they are not rightly guided , like ā€˜doing like right thingsā€™;

    Indeed, professor has to be a ā€˜right leaderā€™ in a class not as a so called ā€˜Managerā€™, 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€˜ ā€˜things are told by Boards, (like BCCI did) may be like a ā€˜leaderā€™ but just ā€˜a managingā€™ art.

    Today so called ā€˜Public servantsā€™ mostly behave like so called ā€˜MBA /MMS graduates do in any ā€˜companyā€™, by simply calling themselves as if some ā€˜so calledā€™ great professionals ;
    These so called ā€˜public servantsā€™ (like CITs), behave like ā€˜managers in the companiesā€™ – like ā€˜Enronā€™ (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 ā€˜Anderson Consultingā€™ as is found ā€˜in the so called CAs and Advocatesā€™ who partake as some ā€˜partners in progressā€™, with the Political Enron ie is your governments, we boast of;
    Anyway ā€˜you 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 ā€˜directionsā€™ā€™, like the ā€˜Managersā€™ do ; obviously . they will just do like Managers only, means ā€˜plenty 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 ā€˜Leadersā€™ do;

    So they were the ā€˜great 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 ā€˜staffā€™ for training. They told with tears.
    in my next comment , i will explain why taxation system in india is failing. tk

    ā€˜Taxes are mainly used to finance the expenses incurred by Government to manage an economy.
    These expenses include as well: ā€˜health 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 ā€˜my comment ā€˜, based lectures on Art 311 at the Parliamentary training institute, held in ā€˜Capital Hotelā€™, organised by the Karnataka legislative department, in 2007, at the ā€˜request ā€“a 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 wifeā€™s 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 ā€˜todayā€™s Contracts, as is understood today is obviously lacking real teath, so a lot of problems in very Contracts tooā€™;
    So ā€˜contractsā€™ basically are not to be regarded as ā€˜rightā€™ rounded contract as such, that leads to breaches on and off;
    See the very Constitution of India ā€˜is a rule of lawā€™, based contract document, like ā€˜Magna 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 ā€˜sch IXā€™ violated the Indian constitution ;
    so declared that sch IX as ā€˜ultra 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 ā€˜Contract theoryā€™ (2016) is directly applicable on any contract, all over the world, as no ā€˜Contractā€™ 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 ā€˜ill constructed contactsā€™.
    That can be discussed tested on the anvil of the very Indian Constitution r/w the ā€˜Contract theoryā€™ now envisioned in the Nobel Prize for Economics;

    In fact, Indian Taxation system ā€˜does not have any sensible reasoning todayā€™ is very obvious;
    most of the tax revenue is just diverted to some ā€˜freebeesā€™ by politicians, some meaningless ā€˜exemptionsā€™ 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 ā€˜black 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 ā€˜black moneysā€™ idea some great ā€˜new leveragesā€™, and ā€˜duly misusingā€™ ā€˜innocenceā€™ of poor common (Man) citizens; who are always just screwed up ā€˜by politicians ploysā€™, like ā€˜rapistsā€™, who try to handle their victims, and while, they try to get escaped, besides misusing ā€˜anticipatory bailsā€™ provisions, duly supported by ā€˜prosecuting authoritiesā€™, who are given ā€˜greatā€™ benefits ā€˜that wayā€™ we misuse laws or /and statutes, as a result, ā€˜unconsciouslyā€™.

    See how recent judgement in Meena case on sec 468a in divorce cases is ā€˜misinterpretedā€™ by very great Apex court, recently; simply be misused, the ā€˜goodness of the judgesā€™, who delivered that judgement on the so called ā€˜termā€™ ā€˜crueltyā€™ of parents;
    Obviously it really said in clear terms, ā€˜bridesā€™ have to live in the groomā€™s house, obviously the bride has to walk into matrimony house and to live with groomā€™s parents ā€˜under any conditionsā€™ can be interpreted;
    while groom need not to stay in brideā€™s parentā€™s house -obvious Art 14, 15 and Art 21 are just misinterpreted or allowed to get ā€˜manipulatedā€™.

    It says ā€˜ under Art 5, ā€˜womanā€™(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 ā€˜need 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 ā€˜the concern of the courtā€™, whether the couple have enough economic competence or ā€˜muscleā€™, to sustain the expenses, like the court is not concerned with the stateā€™s 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 ā€˜crueltyā€™ 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 oneā€™s dignity;

    if false complaints allow the illegal imprisoning a person is needed to be visited by exemplary ā€˜liquidated damagesā€™ on the one who is responsible including the policemen that way the deterrence could be there, why we are not impartial;

    Just because ā€˜greedā€™( 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 ā€˜Judiciary; 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)
