Minister may get Laloo a tax reprieve By Sachchidanand Jha TIMES NEWS NETWORK Patna: Rashtriya Jana- ta Dal (RJD) chief Laloo Prasad Yadav appears to be getting help from un- expected quarters in his fight against the In- come-Tax (I-T) depart- ment. A senior Union minis- ter is learnt to have di- rected the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to show that chief minister Rabri Devi already had sub- stantial income from agriculture and dairy farming, before she took over the reins of the state. The minister has re- portedly asked officials of the I-T assessment wing that they inspect accounts relating to Rabri’s dairy farm be- fore coming to any con- clusion regarding Laloo’s income during the 1986-97 period. The I-T Tribunal is yet to dispose of peti- tions of both Laloo and Rabri. The husband- wife had moved the tri- bunal in May 2000 against the order of the I-T, Appellate, asking the assessment wing to assess Laloo’s income afresh. The tribunal had ad- journed the hearing on their petitions sine die on October 29, 2002. As a result, 11 assessment cases relating to Laloo and 12 of Rabri are pending disposal for over two years. Laloo’s tax liability, including interest, had increased to Rs.1.57 crore till March 2003. The assessment wing had served a notice to Laloo in December 2002, asking him to pay the tax, along with interest, failing which he would have to pay a fine amounting to 10 per cent of the tax amount. Laloo, however, re- fused to pay his dues till the I-T Tribunal dis- posed of his petition. Rabri is, however, pay- ing taxes regularly. Local I-T officials, however,have refused to inspect the accounts of Rabri’s dairy farm, as the matter was pending before the I-T Tribunal.

The age fudging hovered over the under-19 competition after Himachal Pradesh lodged a protest against Jharkhand. Himachal were brushed aside 0-10. But if the medical experts deem the players -- Asunta Lakra, Gudi Kumari, Aruta Minz and, Sushma Minz -- older than 19 years of age, Himachal may begin with an even chance to make the quarters.
