For the purpose of this Act, - (1) xx xx (2) A Hindu undivided family, firm or other association of persons is said to be resident in India in any previous year in every case except where during that year the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly outside India."

Nandlal Gandalal 40 ITR 1(SC)]. In the present case, since the de ....
