COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX

Vs

CAWNPORE CLUB LTD.

BENCH

B. N. Kirpal And S. P. Kurdukar, JJ.

JUDGMENT

1. One of the questions which the High Court had decided in other cases relating to the same assessee was that the doctrine of mutuality applied and, therefore, the income earned by the assessee from the rooms let out to its members could not be subjected to tax. No appeal had been filed against the said decision and the matters stood concluded as far as the assessee was concerned. This being so, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the appeals on the other questions when the respondent cannot be taxed because of the principle of mutuality.

2. The appeals were accordingly dismissed.

No order as to costs.
