ITA No.1053/2010 is an appeal by the Revenue against the order dated 17'*^ July, 2009, passed by the ITAT in ITA No.4220/Del/2001 for the AY 1996-97. 3. In both the appeals, the Revenue seeks to urge the following questions for consideration by the Court:
(a) Whether onthe facts and inthe circumstances ofthe case, the Ld. ITAT erred in law and on merits in allowing deduction under Section 80HH of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Rs.63,97,717) and under Section 801 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Rs.79,97,146) in respect of profitof Namoli Unit and deduction under Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Rs.8,22,387) in respect ofMalanpur Unit?
(b) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Ld. ITAT erred in law and on merits in deleting the disallowance of loss in respect ofUnit-I amounting to Rs.6,40,398?
(c) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Ld. ITAT erred in law and on merits in reducing the disallowance of loss of Unit-II by Rs. 1,22,37,122?
(d) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Ld. ITAT erred in law and on merits in allowing depreciation of Rs.2,82,532 in respect ofNamoli Unit? 4. Question (a) is admittedly covered in favour of the Assessee and against the Revenue by the decision of this Court in CIT v. Tony Electronics Ltd.
(2015) 375ITR 431 (Del). Consequently the Courtis not inclined to frame a question oflaw on this issue. ITA Nos.633 &1053/2010 Page 2of4
Question (b) is common to both ITA Nos.633/2010 and 1053/2010. This question pertains to disallowance ofthe loss ofUnit-I, i.e. Noida Unit. In the earlier AY 1995-96 against the order ofthe AO ordering disallowance of Rs.66,25,885, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)] had while disposing of the Assessee's appeal, sustained the disallowance to the extent of Rs.26,80,087. For the present AY, the loss was Rs.21,28,193 and here again the CIT(A) allowed only 1/3'^'^ relief. The ITAT has found that facts for AY 1996-97 were different from AY 1995-96. In this AY, i.e. 1996-97, commercial production had resumed forty (40) days after the trial production whereas in 1995-96, there was a gap ofmore than one (1) year. 6. The above finding of the ITAT appears to have been based on the facts and, therefore, the Court is of the view that no substantial question of law arises. 7. Question (c) pertains to disallowance of losses of Unit-II at Noida, which is involved in the production and sale of Video Magnetic Tapes. The Assessing Officer (AO) proposed an addition ofRs.4.05 crore on account of suppression of sales and closing stock because of which the Assessee had declared a loss. The CIT(A) noted the serious discrepancies in the order of the AO, which had resulted in directions being issued under Section 144A by the Additional CIT restricting disallowance to 10 per cent of the gross profit on sales. ITANos.633£ 1053/2010 Page 3 of4
The ITAT in the impugned order has noted that losses had been incurred in Unit-II in the earlier AY, i.e. 1995-96, as well as the succeeding AY, i.e. 1997-98. Accordingly, the addition sustained by the CIT(A) was entirely deleted by the ITAT. The view taken by the ITAT appears to be aplausible one in the facts ofthe case. 9. Question concerns (d) the disallowance of depreciation in respect of the Namoli Unit. The question is covered in favour of the Assessee and against the Revenue by the decision of this Court in CIT v. Tony Electronics Ltd.
(2015) 375ITR 431 (Del). 10. The appeals are accordingly dismissed. S.MURALIDHAR, J VIBHU BAKHRU, J OCTOBER 05,2015 b 'nesh ITANos.633 & 1053/2010 Page 4 of4
