Landmark Cases in Direct Tax Laws 2019

The editing is simply superb with the case law classified under appropriate headings and arranged alphabetically. The table of contents, nominal index of case law and the subject index are useful guides for locating the desired information…. Excellent in get-up and presentation, and erudition in all the cases commented upon, make the book a good possession by those who are required to administer and by those who practice tax laws.

Law reports in profusion, issuing from several High Courts and the Supreme Court, produce a flow, even flood, of rulings - some trash, some creative wonders, beyond the time and capability of the legal profession to read through. Therefore, selective reports of leading cases assist the lawyers in a big way, given the complexity of our tax laws, enormous volume of litigation and consequent hardship found by even tax specialists. In this view, I agree with Justice K.S. Paripoornan, who was a tax specialist while at the Bar, when he says that this book will be well received by the Bench, the Bar, administrators, tax practitioners and the general public.
