THE COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, BHOPAL, M.P. vs. MADHYA PRADESH MADHYA KSHETRA VIDYUT VITRAN CO. LTD.
What did the High Court hold?
The Tribunal held that there was no case for interference with the lower authorities' orders. This was based on the principle laid down by the Delhi High Court in CIT Vs. Delhi Transco Limited, which was upheld by the Supreme Court. Similar decisions by the Karnataka High Court in CIT, Bangalore Vs. Hubli Electric Supply Company Limited and the Bombay High Court in CIT Vs. Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited were also considered. The Tribunal found that the question of law raised by the Revenue had already been decided against the Revenue in these cited judgments, and the Supreme Court's dismissal of the SLP in the Delhi Transco Limited case reinforced this position. Therefore, the appeal filed by the Revenue was dismissed.
