What did the Tribunal hold?

The assessee's counsel stated that they did not wish to press the claim for depreciation on bridges. Consequently, the tribunal dismissed the appeals.

The assessee claimed depreciation on bridges for AY 2013-14 and 2014-15. The revenue authorities disallowed the claim on the grounds that the assessee was neither the owner nor user of the bridges for its business.

What were the issues?

The primary issue was whether the assessee was entitled to depreciation on bridges. This involved determining ownership and usage for business purposes.

The only grievance projected by the assessee in the grounds of appeal raised for both the Assessment Years is with regard to action of the Revenue authorities in not allowing depreciation claimed by the assessee on bridges on the ground that the assessee was not the owner of the bridge and also was not using the bridges for the purpose of its business. At the time of hearing, learned Counsel for the assessee submitted that the assessee does not want to press the claim of depreciation on bridges. In the circumstances, we dismiss both the appeals of the assessee as not pressed.

In the result, appeals of the assessee are dismissed.
