What were the facts?

The appeal is filed by The Kannur District Co-operative Bank Limited against an order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Cochin Bench, dated June 7, 2013. The assessment order was dated December 27, 2010, and the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Kozhikode, passed an order on January 1, 2013. The High Court of Kerala noted that the issue raised in this appeal was covered by a previous judgment in I.T.A. No. 179/2012. The appeal was filed with a delay of 183 days, which was condoned by the court.

What did the High Court hold?

The High Court of Kerala held that the issue raised in the present appeal (I.T.A. No. 91 of 2014) was covered against the appellant by the judgment in I.T.A. No. 179/2012. Consequently, following the precedent established in the earlier judgment, the appeal was dismissed. The reasoning is that the facts and legal questions presented in this appeal were identical to those decided in I.T.A. No. 179/2012, rendering further adjudication unnecessary. The ratio decidendi is that a case with identical issues already decided by a higher court should be decided in accordance with that precedent. The operative direction was to dismiss the appeal.
