COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX BIHAR, PATNA vs SAHU JAIN LIMITED

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 23A(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1922, regarding undistributed profits of a company where the public is substantially interested. The Court held that the relationship among shareholders is crucial in determining if they are acting in concert, emphasizing that mere familial ties do not automatically imply such action. The Tribunal's decision was upheld, confirming that the provisions of Section 23A were not applicable to the company in question for the assessment years 1952-53 and 1953-54.
