Judicial discipline demands that a Bench of the High Court must follow the decision of an earlier Bench of equal jurisdiction of the same High Court. However, there are some cases where decisions in higher authority have been overruled by the lower authorities, e.g., CIT v. United Vansapati Ltd. [2008] 218 CTR 524 (HP) and Attar Singh Gurmukh Singh v. ITO [1991] 191 ITR 667/59 Taxman 11 (SC). In this article, the author has made a detailed analysis of the said decisions. He opines that the Himachal Pradesh High Court, with due respect, has commented on the judgment of the Apex Court in an abrupt manner without reservation. Whether the Himachal Pradesh High Court’s attitude amounts to judicial indiscipline or not, is in the domain of the Supreme Court. However, such kind of decision would surely create a suspicion in the mind of the general public. Hence, this matter may be taken up by the Apex Court suo motu to make a final decision on the correctness of the judgment of the Himachal Pradesh High Court. Regarding the latter judgment, he opines that a three member Bench Judgment of the Apex Court in Indian Molasses Co. (P.) Ltd. v. CIT [1959] 37 ITR 66 has been overruled by a latter two member Bench’s judgment of the same court (Attar Singh Gurmukh Singh’s case (supra) by an omission. It may not be termed as judicial impropriety by the highest court of the country and suggests that the Supreme Court may suo motu constitute a Bench of five judges to resolve this issue, by reviewing the judgment in Attar Singh Gurmukh Singh’s case (supra) in the context of its decision in Indian Molasses Co.’s case (supra) forever.

Recent judgments of the Mumbai High Court in the case of Vodafone International Holdings B.V. v. Union of India [2008] 175 Taxman 399 and of the Supreme Court in CIT v. Eli Lilly & Co (India) (P.) Ltd. [2009] 178 Taxman 505 (SC), have created a furore amongst the expat employees in India. Tax experts say that the decision of the Apex Court in Eli Lily & Co. (India) (P.) Ltd.’s case (supra) has wider implications for MNCs with the Court holding that TDS provisions can be extended beyond the country’s borders in case of salaries. In this article, the author has analysed the powers of the Parliament to pass laws whose scope extends beyond the territory of India, i.e., whether it can pass laws which have extra-territorial operation, and whether such laws have enforceability under International law. He has further analysed the above two decisions.
