What did the Supreme Court hold?

The tribunal held that the Department failed to consider relevant factors like expenses and the proportion of income from storage versus ginning/pressing. An across-the-board 50% allocation as rental income was inappropriate.

What were the issues?

Whether the charges received by the assessee for ginning and pressing cotton were a composite charge including storage rent, and if so, how to determine the proportion of rental income.
