Without prejudice to the above the learned CIT(Appeals)-VI, Baroda has erred in not appreciating the fact that it was impossibility of the situation that the trust could not have spent the money accumulated in A.Y. 2003-04 and complied with the provisions of Income Tax Act.

It is submitted that in view of this, the trust should be allowed to spend the money, as per the resolution, as and when the orders, which are challenged in the courts are cancelled and the trust in a position to buy the land and spend the amount as per the resolutions.

.... per section 11(3) of the Act. The ld.counsel for the assessee submitted that the ld.ACIT ought to have appreciated that the provisions of section 11(2) of the Act read with the second proviso thereto below were applicable to the case of the appellant-trust and therefore the appellant-trust had not contravened the provisions of sec.11(3)(c) of the Income-tax Act 1961 in any manner whatsoever and nor were the provisions of sec. 11(3A) of the Income-tax Act 1961 applicable to the appellant-trust. The ld.counsel for the assessee submitted that the provisions of section 11(3A) would become operative only when the person who was in receipt of income and who had invested the same as per the provisions of section 11(5) could not apply the same for the purpose for which it was accumulated or set apart, required permission to apply such income for such other charitable or religious purpose in India. Section 11(3A) starts with the non-obstante clause restricted to the provisions of section 11(3). The period referred to in clause (c) of section 11(3) refers to the period referred to in clause(a) of section 11(2). The proviso below section 11(2) carves out an exception with respect to the peri....

....f the I.T.Act. As per section 11(3) (c) of the I.T. Act, 1961. "Any income referred to in subsection 11(2) which- (c) is not utilized for the purpose for which it is so accumulation or set apart, during the period referred to in a clause (a) of that sub-section or in the year immediately following the expiry thereof- Shall be deemed to be the income of such person of the previous year in which it is so applied or ceases to be so accumulated or set apart." The facts as brought out in A.Y. 2010-11 and as mentioned above are applicable to the case of the assessee for A.Y. 2009-10 and the point pertinent to note that the AR agreed vide order sheet entry dated 26.12.2012 that he does not have any objection about the addition made on the same ground during assessment proceeding for A.Y. 2010-11. Accordingly I have reason to believe that the assessee has failed to disclose truly and fairly all the facts relevant to its assessment for A.Y. 2009-10. Thus, I have, therefore reason to believe that income exceeding Rs.One lacs chargeable to tax has been escaped the assessment for 2009-10 within the meaning of Section 147 of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, it ....

....er, it is clear that the affairs of the assesseetrust were taken over by the Court appointed Receiver and, therefore, it can be inferred from the material available on record that the trustees of the assessee-trust were restrained from managing the affairs. It is the contention of the assessee-trust that the above order remained in force till 30/08/2007. The ld.CIT(A) did not accept the explanation of the assessee on the ground that there was no prohibition or restraining order by the Court that the Receiver would not comply with the provisions of the Act. So far as the assessee-trust is concerned, its affairs were taken over by the Court appointed Receiver, therefore it cannot be inferred that the assessee-trust was in anyway responsible for not making an application for accumulation of income u/s.11(1) of the Act. The contention of the assessee is that the delay in making application by the assessee-trust was due to sufficient cause and the authorities below ought to have condoned the delay and excluded the period during which the affairs of the trust was taken over by the Court Receiver trust. However, no such situation is contemplated under the Act where the affairs of the trus....
