Bot Summary: The present petition has been filed for issuance of appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, direction/directions towards cancellation/quashing the order dated 28.12.2018 passed by respondent no.6. Section 48 explanation iii and Section 54 F of the Income Tax Act has been left aside and has taxed the petitioner on hypothetical income. The order of the respondent directly affects the fundamental right of the petitioner and liability has been imposed on hypothetical income which could not be taxed under Section 45 and 48 of the Act. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are not inclined to entertain the present petition, more so, for the reason that the petitioner has concealed the relevant material information from the Court with regard to the status of the project. It is only after repeated queries were put to the learned counsel, that the learned Additional Solicitor General invited our attention to the fact that post execution of agreement dated 30.04.2010, subject matter of lis, the construction is carried out in part and a tenant inducted into the property, from whom huge amount of rent is being charged by the present petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner invites our attention to the provisions of Sub-Section 5(a) of Section 45 of the Income Tax Act. On this short ground alone, we dismiss the present petition.

Having heard learned counsel for petitioner, we are not inclined to entertain present petition, more so, for reason that petitioner has concealed relevant material information from Court with regard to status of project. It is only after repeated queries were put to learned counsel, that learned Additional Solicitor General invited our attention to fact that post execution of agreement dated 30.04.2010, subject matter of lis, construction is carried out in part and tenant inducted into property, from whom huge amount of rent is being charged by present petitioner.

Well, we are of considered view that this Court is Patna High Court CWJC No.4466 of 2019(8) dt.16-01-2020 3/3 not fact finding authority. As such, any order passed by Assessing Officer, so assailed being erroneous one question of facts, has to be adjudicated not by writ Court but by appropriate authority constituted under Statute. As such, on this short ground alone, we dismiss present petition. (Sanjay Karol, CJ) ( Anil Kumar Upadhyay, J) uday/- U Pravin Kumar Sinha v.
