CORAM : V.C.DAGA AND J.P.DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 10th September 2009. P.C. : All these matters were called out since the matters were pending in this Court right from the years 1989, 1990 and 1993 and some of them are pending since 1995. Almost more than 15 to 20 years have passed. No steps have been taken by the assessees/ revenue at whose instance the statements of case in their respective cases have been forwarded by the Tribunal. 2. This Court had issued notices to the parties to the references. They were called upon to take steps approaching the office of the Prothonotary and Senior Master of this Court and to take steps as required under section 657 of the Bombay High Court (Original Side) Rules, 1980 (“Rules for short) so as to place the references on board for final disposal since the provision of rule 657 required the person at whose instance reference has been made to take necessary steps to supply paper book. In the event of noncompliance of rule 659, the matters were required to be placed on Board for orders. Order was required to be passed in exercise of powers under rule 660 of the Rules. That is how all these matters are placed on board for orders. 3. Since no steps have been taken by the assessees/ revenue in either of the matters as required under rules 657 and 658 of the Rules, we have no option but to return all these references unanswered in exercise of powers under rule 659 of the Rules. 4. In the result, all these references are returned unanswered and disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (V.C.DAGA J.)
