Notable Judgments<\/p>\n

Tax Authorities must judiciously approach application for condonation of delay in uploading of audit report by charitable trusts: Rajasthan HC<\/p>\n

While considering a petition filed by Khandelwal Vaishya Samaj Charitable Trust, aggrived with the dismissal of their application for condonation of delay uploading\/e-filing of Form 10B by Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), the Division Bench of K.R. Shriram and Maneesh Sharma, JJ., in Khandelwal Vaishya Samaj Charitable Trust v. CIT<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Raj 4660<\/a>, opined that the application for condonation of delay should have been accepted. “Courts have repeatedly held that such approach in the cases of present type should be equitious, balancing and judicious. Even though technically and strictly and liberally speaking, respondent might be justified in rejecting application but the assessee, a public charitable trust, with so many years of charitable activities, which otherwise satisfies the condition for availing such exemption should not be denied the same merely due on the bar of limitation especially when the legislature has conferred wide discretionary powers to condone such delay on the authorities concerned<\/span>”.<\/p>\n

Maternity Benefits Act takes precedence over contractual conditions for contractual employees: Madras High Court<\/a><\/p>\n

In MRB Nurses Empowerment Assn. v. State of T.N.<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Mad 5801<\/a>, filed by MRB Nurses Empowerment Association (‘Nurses Association’) seeking issuance of a writ directing the Department of Health and Family Welfare and other respondents to extend maternity benefits including 270 days of paid maternity leave in accordance with the provisions of Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 (‘the 1961 Act’) to all staff nurses working under the National Rural Health Mission Scheme in the State of Tamil Nadu with immediate effect, the division bench of K.R. Shriram, CJ. and Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, J. held that by virtue of Section 27, the provisions of the 1961 Act will prevail over contractual conditions denying or offering less favourable maternity benefits. Thus, the Court directed that all pending and new applications for maternity benefits from NRHM nurses employed on a contractual basis were to be considered and disposed of in accordance with Section 5 of the 1961 Act.<\/p>\n

Madras High Court rules on criteria to determine whether a transaction involves transfer of right to use goods<\/p>\n

The Division Bench of K.R Shriram, CJ and Mohammed Shaffiq, J., in Anandcine Service (P) Ltd. v. CST<\/span>, (2025) 140 GSTR 253, reiterated that, there shall be a deemed sale where there is transfer of the right to use any goods for any purpose-whether or not for a specified period, for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration. From the documents and particularly from the clauses reproduced above, it is quite clear that there has been a transfer of the right to use equipments for valuable consideration. Even in clause (29A) of article 366<\/a> of the Constitution of India<\/a>, the only requirement is there should be transfer of the rights to use the goods for valuable consideration.<\/p>\n

[NOXGUARD v. NONS] Bombay HC denies interim relief to Canadian pharmaceutical company in a confidentiality agreement breach suit<\/a><\/p>\n

In SaNOtize Research & Development Corpn. v. Lupin Ltd.<\/span>, 2022 SCC OnLine Bom 6596<\/a>, while addressing a case relating to confidentiality agreement breach, the Division Bench of Arif S.

Tata Capital Ltd<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 1039<\/a>, which was an appeal filed under Section 260-A<\/a> of the Income Tax Act, 1961<\/a>, (‘the Act’) impugned an order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai (ITAT), wherein the decision of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Bombay [CIT(A)], to allow the appeal of the assessee and deletion of disallowance of interest expenditure amounting to Rs. 94,00,00,000\/- claimed by the assessee was upheld by the ITAT, the division bench comprising K.R.

Doctor and K.R. Shriram, JJ., observed that the jurisdiction of the Designated Authority under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act is purely ministerial and limited only to assisting secured creditors in taking possession of secured assets and nothing more. “Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act does not contemplate much less empower the DA to even consider much less adjudicate upon any objections raised by Borrower or anybody else<\/span>”.<\/p>\n

Yet, the respondent had issued a notice under Section 148<\/a> of the Income Tax Act, 1961<\/a> dated 30-6-2021 for A.Y. 2103-15 stating that there were reasons to believe that K’s income chargeable to tax for A.Y. 2014-15 had escaped assessment.<\/p>\n
