The High Court, in its order dated January 30, 2012, has stated that for the present appeals (ITA Nos. 967, 1003, 1013, 1014 & 1015/2009), the decision will be based on the order passed in ITA No. 964/2009.

It merely defers to a prior decision.

No issue was expressly left undecided.
The Tribunal deleted the addition, holding that Section 41(1) was not applicable as the written-back amounts did not represent any remission or cessation of a liability that was previously allowed as a deduction. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision.

The Tribunal remitted the matter to the Assessing Officer for a fresh decision on the disallowance under Section 14A, considering the Bombay High Court's ruling. It also remitted the issue of speculative trading under Section 73 for fresh examination due to scanty factual details.
The High Court held that the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) was correct in dismissing the rectification application filed under Section 254(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Tribunal's power under Section 254(2) is limited to rectifying mistakes apparent from the record and does not permit the introduction of fresh evidence or material that was not available or filed when the original order under Section 254(1) was passed. The ITAT had disposed of the original appeal based on the records made available to it at that time. Therefore, there was no error apparent on the record that warranted rectification. The High Court found no substantial question of law arising from the ITAT's order dismissing the rectification application and consequently dismissed the appeal. The court clarified that it expressed no opinion on the maintainability of any potential review application against the original order dated 23.11.2009.
The High Court admitted the appeals and framed substantial questions of law concerning the ITAT's annulment of the block assessment and its presumptions about the seized document. The case will be listed with other connected matters.
The High Court held that the free of cost accessories provided were akin to a discount or rebate on the sale price, not a gift or pure sales promotion. Therefore, they were not liable to FBT.
The High Court held that the assessment order was not barred by limitation. It interpreted Section 153B, including its proviso, to allow for the extended period for assessment after considering the stay and special audit.
The High Court held that the assessment order was not barred by limitation. It found that the proviso to the Explanation to Section 153B(1) allowed for an extended period for assessment in cases involving special audits or stays.

The ITAT correctly deleted the penalty as the assessee had produced fresh material and evidence in penalty proceedings which the AO and CIT(A) failed to examine. The tribunal examined this material and found the penalty unjustified.
The High Court found the Revenue's explanation for the extensive delay insufficient. The court noted a lack of follow-up with the engaged advocate and no correspondence to justify the period between September 2005 and January 2011.
The High Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax. The Court noted that a similar controversy regarding the claim for deduction under Section 10A for the assessment years 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2004-05 had been decided by the same Court in ITA Nos. 2003, 2004, 2025 and 2027 of 2010, which were dismissed on January 27, 2011. Following the precedent set by the dismissal of those appeals, the High Court found no reason to issue notice on the application for condonation of delay. Consequently, both the application for condonation of delay and the appeal itself were dismissed. The operative direction was the dismissal of the appeal.
The Tribunal found the assessee's explanations for the decline in GP rate and the lower pricing to bulk purchasers to be factual and accepted. The disallowance of commission was also deemed unjustified due to procedural issues by the AO.
The High Court held that Section 14A applies to income exempt under Section 10(29), rejecting the appellant's plea for gross income exclusion. It also noted that the issue of COD approval was no longer relevant. The matters concerning separate businesses were remitted to the Assessing Officer.
The High Court dismissed the appeals, stating that the issue regarding Section 10(29) interpretation was of academic interest and left it open. For other issues, the matter was remitted to the Assessing Officer. The court rejected the plea that expenses could not be disallowed under Section 14A for income exempt under Section 10(29).
The Tribunal erred in law by not considering Section 17-A(2) of the Himachal Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1968. This section mandates that interest becomes automatically payable on delayed payment of tax, thus qualifying as a 'sum payable' for deduction under Section 43B.
The Tribunal erred in allowing the Assessing Officer to re-examine and enhance the total sale consideration, as the original sale was approved under Chapter XXC and the issue remitted back was only for bifurcation of the sale price.
The High Court framed substantial questions of law regarding the applicability of Section 14A to exempt income and the distinction between deduction and exemption. The court did not entertain the appeal on the insurance premium issue and was not inclined to admit the appeal on the loss issue, noting it was a corrected error accepted by appellate authorities.
The Tribunal erred in allowing the Assessing Officer to re-examine and enhance the total sale consideration, as the original sale was approved under Chapter XXC and the issue remitted back was only for bifurcation of the sale price.
The Tribunal was justified in deleting the penalty. The issue of expenditure being capital or revenue is debatable, and the assessee had a plausible explanation. For AT&T Singapore payments, while the disallowance was upheld in quantum, the assessee's interpretation of Section 40(a)(i) was arguable, thus not warranting penalty.
The CIT(Appeals) considered the additional evidence, including Forms 15-I and 15-J, and deleted the disallowance. The High Court agreed with the CIT(Appeals)'s decision to allow additional evidence and dismissed the Revenue's appeal.
The Tribunal and CIT(Appeals) held that the property was effectively owned by the assessee due to a family settlement and a codicil to the will, and the relinquishment deed was executed to facilitate the sale and secure the best price. The transfer was correctly treated as long-term capital gain.
The Tribunal held that commission paid to directors for services rendered, as per AGM resolutions, is a legitimate business expense. The payment of dividend to shareholders is distinct from salary/commission paid to directors for their work.
The tribunal held that commission paid to directors for services rendered, as per AGM resolutions, is a legitimate business expense. The payment of commission is distinct from dividend distribution and is for services rendered, not an appropriation of profits.

The High Court held that while payments and sale deeds after the winding up order were questionable, the Company Judge should have determined if the appellants were bona fide purchasers. The court also noted new facts regarding an Income Tax Department attachment order and an ongoing Serious Fraud Investigation Office report.
The Tribunal affirmed the deletion of the deferred revenue expenditure addition, holding that the revenue cannot insist on deferring expenditure when the assessee claims it as revenue in the year of incurrence. The expenditure facilitated trading operations and did not create a capital asset.
The High Court held that the Assessing Officer's reasons for reopening, which indicated fraudulent claims and mis-declared exports, were sufficient to satisfy the requirement of believing income had escaped assessment due to the assessee's failure to disclose material facts. Therefore, the Tribunal was incorrect in deeming the reassessment notice invalid on this ground.
The Tribunal held that the CIT wrongly invoked Section 263 as the AO's order was not erroneous. Since no addition was made for the reasons of reopening (FDRs), the AO could not have made additions on other issues like share application money during the reassessment proceedings.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, correcting an apparent mistake in the valuation of stock. The court found the Tribunal's decision was not perverse, considering the assessee's explanations regarding valuation methods and third-party stock.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, finding that the valuation method used by the Revenue was incorrect. The Tribunal noted that the stock in books was valued at cost, which is permissible under the mercantile system, and this valuation was not rejected by the Assessing Officer.
The Tribunal held that revenue expenditure, even if providing an advantage for several years, should be allowed in the year it is incurred, unless there is a statutory provision for deferral. The Revenue's attempt to defer such expenditure was not accepted.
The High Court of Delhi allowed the application for amendment of the appeal filed by the Appellant, Power Finance Corporation Ltd. The Court held that the amendment is permissible subject to all just exceptions. Crucially, the Court stipulated that it would be open to the Revenue to contend that the issues raised in the amended appeal do not arise out of the impugned order and thus do not require adjudication by the Court. The amended appeal was directed to be filed within 7 days. The Court did not decide on the merits of the appeal itself but rather on the procedural aspect of allowing the amendment. The substantive issues of the appeal remain to be heard. The operative direction was to list the amended appeal for hearing and arguments on April 18, 2012.
The Tribunal held that the payment was not a loan or advance covered by Section 2(22)(e) but was part of a business transaction under a collaboration agreement for land development. The High Court found no perversity in the Tribunal's order.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, finding that the funds received were tied-up grants, not voluntary contributions, and were utilized as per the terms and conditions of the funding agencies. The assessee acted as a custodian of these funds, channeling them for specific purposes.
