TO JUDGE rs A.M.SHAFFIQUE, J * * * * * * * * * * * * * W.P.C.No.9650 of 2005 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 3[rd] day of December 2011 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P3 which is anorder passed by the Joint Commissioner of Income Tax (SpecialRange), Calicut modifying the assessment in accordance with theorder of C.I.T (Appeals) dated 27/11/2000. In Ext.P3, theauthority had also included tax payable on long term capitalgains. According to the petitioner, by virtue of Ext.P2 order, theCommissioner of Income Tax (A), Calicut had set aside thedecision regarding assessment of working capital gain and hadfurther directed the Assessment Officer to re-examine and verifythe appellant's submissions and take the proper value of the landas on 01/04/1981. It is without reference to Ext.P2 order, thatExt.P3 is issued, and it is in pursuance of Ext.P3, that Exts.P4, P5and P6 demands were made. 2.Having heard the learned counsels on either side, Iam of the view that a demand for capital gains can be made onlyafter finalising the assessment, as per directions in Ext.P2. In W.P.C.NO.9650/2005 that view, Ext.P3 to the extent of assessment of income fromcapital gains is liable to be set aside and consequently Exts.P4,P5 and P6 also stand set aside. 3.It is submitted by the learned counsel for thedepartment that they have already filed an appeal against Ext.P2which is pending before the Tribunal. 4. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is allowed. There will be a direction to the 2[nd] respondent todispose of the applicant's assessment with reference to Ext.P2,subject to any orders passed in the appeal filed by thedepartment, within a period of three months from the date ofreceiving a copy of this judgment.
