Inconsistent decisions: Increasing workload, a higher rate of admission, and constitution of multiple two-judge Division Benches have resulted in a huge increase in the number of judgments handed down by the Supreme Court, which again increases the probability of inconsistencies in judgments. By ARGHYA SENGUPTA


pending before the SC in the case of 'Godrej & Boyce' -https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1269729/ (*); in which the constitutional validity of Sec 14A as original enacted, itself (de hors its later amendments) has been taken on and is being challenged.
The real objection of the Department appears to be that the assessee is getting tax-free dividend; that at the same time it is claiming loss on the sale of the units; that the assessee had purposely and in a planned manner entered into a pre-meditated transaction of buying and selling units yielding exempted dividends with full knowledge about the fall in the NAV after the record date and the payment of tax-free dividend and, therefore, loss on sale was not genuine. We find no merit in the above argument of the Department.
Therefore, AS-13 has no application to the facts of the present cases where units are bought at the ruling NAV with a right to receive dividend as and when declared in future and did not carry any vested right to claim dividends which had already accrued prior to the purchase.
SC Judgment  in Maxopps case;   the full text of which has been reported in the Judgment @https://indiankanoon.org/doc/HYPERLINK "https://indiankanoon.org/doc/172126674/"172126674HYPERLINK "https://indiankanoon.org/doc/172126674/"/
This view has already been upheld by this Court in Civil Appeal No. 2165 of 2012 (Commissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai v. M/s. Essar Teleholdings Ltd. through its Manager), pronounced on January 31, 2018
