2. Re Exploitation Of Children In … vs Union Of India on 8 March, 2016
This writ petition was filed in response to an article published on July 4th, 2007 in the Hindi daily “Hindustan” (Lucknow Edition). Ms. Anjali Sinha wrote the paper, which is titled “Orphanage or Places for Child Abuse” in the English translation. The article, along with a letter, was forwarded to this Court by one A.S. Choudhury, and this is the origin of this petition, which was filed as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on September 10, 2007. To assist this Court, Ms. Aparna Bhat has been nominated as an Amicus Curiae. To begin, we must applaud Ms. Aparna Bhat’s unwavering and great efforts in providing aid in this situation over the last ten years.


3. Jeans Knit Private Ltd. Bangalore vs The Deputy Commissioner Of Income … on 24 November, 2014
The assessee, a company engaged in the business of manufacturing and exporting readymade garments and job works, filed its income tax return for Assessment Year 2011-12 on September 27, 2011, declaring total income of Rs.6,01,06,300/- after claiming a deduction of Rs.42,65,47,075/- under section 10B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’). The case was reviewed, and the assessment was completed under section 143(3) of the Act by decision dated March 24, 2014, determining the assessee’s income to be Rs.48,66,53,376/-. This was owing to the assessee’s claim for a deduction under section 10B of the Act being denied because the Assessing Officer (AO) believed the assessee company was founded by reconstructing an existing business using old plant and machinery for this purpose.


4. Raj Singh And Ors. Etc. Etc. vs State Of Haryana And Ors. Etc. Etc. on 18 November, 2016
