II.  Direct Tax Case laws:

1.  Sunisha Impex (P.) Ltd. Vs. CIT, Writ Petition No. 2498 of 2013, Date of Order: 06.01.2014, High Court of Bombay

Commissioner cannot transfer a case from one place to another on ground of co-ordinate investigation without giving notice, personal hearing and assigning reasons.

While transferring the case on the ground of co-ordinated investigation, it is incumbent upon the Commissioner to indicate the reasons why it is necessary to transfer the case for the purposes of co-ordinated investigation. It is not even remotely suggested by the revenue that it was not possible for them to issue notice or grant personal hearing before passing the impugned order. Therefore, on the above grounds of breach of natural justice, i.e., not giving of notice, not giving a personal hearing and passing the order without reasons, the impugned order is set aside.

2.  CIT Vs. Babu Mohan Lal Arya Smarak Educational Trust, IT Appeal Defective No. 118 of 2013, Date of Order: 07.11.2013, High Court of Allahabad

Registration granted under section 12AA could not be cancelled on basis of seized documents, where in course of search carried out at assessee's premises, certain documents were found indicating some receipt of cash against admission of students in various courses run by assessee trust, in view of fact that presumption under section 292C was rebutted by denial of assessee as no evidence of actual receipt of donation or capitation fees was found in search.

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal being the final Court of facts has recorded finding of fact on the material found during search and seizure operation and has come to conclusion that no evidence was found with regard to payment of any money to the assessee trust. The presumption under Section 292C of the Act was rebutted by denial of the assessee with no evidence of actual receipt of on money/ donation/ capitation fees was found in search. No incriminating evidence or corroborative evidence was found. The order of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal records findings of fact, which do not raise any substantial question of law to be decided by the High Court.
