IV.  Direct Taxes Case Laws:

1.  CIT Vs. Sri Vijay Singh Kadan, I.T.A. No. 714/2015, Date of Order: 14.09.2015, High Court of Delhi

Whether the distance of agricultural land, in terms of Section 2(14)(iii)(b) has to be measured along the road and not as per crow's flight/ aerial distance. And Whether distance up to the land should be considered or up to the village within which such land is situated?

It is held that for the purposes of Section 2 (14) (iii) (b) of the Act, the distance had to be measured from the agricultural land in question to the outer limit of the municipality by road and not by the straight line or the aerial route. The distance has to be measured from the land in question itself and not from the village in which the land is situated.

2.  CIT Vs. Pritam Das Narang, I.T.A. No. 203/2014, Date of Order: 16.09.2015, High Court of Delhi

Whether the payment made by the prospective employer as compensation towards breach of promise and not for any services rendered or to be rendered could not be taxed under Section 17(3)(iii) of the Act.

Held Yes

Section 17 (3) (iii) (A) pre-supposes the existence of an employment, i.e., a relationship of employee and employer between the Assessee and the person who makes the payment of "any amount" in terms of Section 17 (3) (iii) of the Act. Likewise, Section 17 (3) (iii) (B) also pre-supposes the existence of the relationship of employer and employee between the person who makes the payment of the amount and the Assessee. It envisages the amount being received by the Assessee "after cessation of his employment". Therefore, the words in Section 17 (3) (iii) cannot be read disjunctively to overlook the essential facet of the provision, viz., the existence of ‘employment’ i.e. a relationship of employer and employee between the person who makes the payment of the amount and the Assessee. The Court accordingly concurs with the concurrent view of the CIT (A) and the ITAT that this was a case where there was no commencement of the
employment and that the offer by ACEE to the Assessee was withdrawn even prior to the commencement of such employment. The amount received by the Assessee was a capital receipt and could not be taxed under the head 'profits in lieu of salary'.
