The High Court held that the amendments to Section 40(a)(ia) by the Finance Act, 2010, were curative and explanatory, and therefore retrospective. The court found that the assessees had not violated the unamended Section 40(a)(ia) and that the amended provisions clarified existing ambiguities.
The High Court held that the appeal by the Revenue had to be dismissed. The Court reasoned that the additions, which were the subject of the penalty order under Section 271(1)(c), related to the normal provisions of the Income Tax Act. However, the assessment for the relevant year was completed on book profits under Section 115JB. Crucially, the penalty order did not pertain to any wrong, misdeclaration, or addition to the book profits calculated under Section 115JB. The Court found that the decision in Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Nalwa Sons Investments Ltd., (2010) 327 ITR 543 Delhi, was clearly applicable. The appeal was dismissed in limine.
The Tribunal upheld the penalty for concealment, finding that the revised return was filed only after the investigation began and that the appellant failed to justify the bogus capital loss claim. The court found no substantial question of law to interfere with the Tribunal's findings.
The High Court held that the Tribunal has broad powers to consider issues not initially raised, distinguishing the Goetze (India) Ltd. case. The Court emphasized that assessment proceedings are not strictly adversarial and the focus should be on correctly determining tax liability.
The High Court held that since the ITAT found that the interest-free advances had a tangible bearing on the profit margin, remanding the matter to the AO for re-working the adjustments was appropriate. The court did not express any opinion on the merits of the case.

The High Court held that the appellate authorities had correctly examined the factual matrix and the nature of expenses. It was the Assessing Officer's duty to deal with the facts presented by the assessee, and since the factual findings of the appellate authorities were not controverted, the court found no reason to interfere.
The High Court dismissed the writ petition. The Court held that the reassessment notice was valid. It distinguished the present case from a mere change of opinion, stating that the AO had reason to believe that income had escaped assessment due to non-disclosure of material facts. The Court referred to the Supreme Court's decision in *Sri Krishna Pvt. Ltd. vs. Income Tax Officer, Calcutta*, emphasizing that disclosure must be full and true, and partial disclosure can be misleading. The Court noted that the truthfulness of disclosed facts is ascertained after a full-fledged inquiry. The Court also discussed the duty of the assessee to disclose all primary facts, citing *A. N. Sehgal v. Commissioner of Income Tax*, and the Explanation to Section 147, which clarifies that constructive disclosure is not sufficient if primary facts are not disclosed. The Court found no merit in the petitioner's arguments that the reassessment was based on a change of opinion or that there was a failure to disclose material facts. The petition was dismissed with costs of Rs. 10,000/-.
The Tribunal reversed the penalty order, holding that since the claim was made during scrutiny assessment and all facts were disclosed, there was no concealment of income. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that a bona fide legal claim made during assessment, even if rejected, does not warrant penalty.

The Tribunal held that penalty under Section 271G can only be imposed if the Assessing Officer specifically requests information or documents under Section 92D(3) and the assessee fails to furnish them within the stipulated time. The Assessing Officer's order was cryptic and lacked the necessary details.

The Assessing Officer's order was cryptic and lacked the necessary details.
The High Court found the DVO's report flawed and unreliable. Crucially, a valuation report from 1999, which was a basis for framing substantial questions of law, was not placed on record. Without this report, the Tribunal's decision to reject the DVO's valuation could not be deemed perverse.

The Tribunal held that the liability to pay interest had not accrued during the relevant previous years as the conversion of equity to loan occurred after the end of those years. Therefore, the interest could not be claimed as an expenditure in those years.
The Tribunal held that the expenditure on replacing the entire flooring with a new type of flooring, which provided a new and distinct advantage, was capital in nature and not 'current repairs' under Section 30(a)(ii).
The High Court held that while provisions for warranty can be allowed as expenditure under Section 37(1), the quantum must be based on a rational and scientific basis, potentially actuarial valuation. The matter was remanded for proper factual examination.

The High Court held that Section 115-J does not affect the computation of income under normal provisions, and therefore, unabsorbed losses and investment allowance computed under normal provisions cannot be carried forward if tax is paid on book profits. The question of law is answered in favour of the Revenue.
The High Court held that the Commissioner of Income Tax was not justified in invoking jurisdiction under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This finding was based on the prior decision of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) which had set aside the CIT's Section 263 order. The Delhi High Court, in ITA No. 119/2012, had affirmed the ITAT's decision. Therefore, as the foundation of the AO's order (the Section 263 order) was found to be invalid, the present appeal, which arose from the AO's consequential order, had to be dismissed. The operative direction was the dismissal of the appeal. No issues were expressly left undecided.
The High Court limited the notice of appeal to the issue of whether the variable license fee was revenue expenditure and if Section 35ABB of the Income Tax Act was applicable. The court also noted that the issue of interest-free loans to subsidiaries was covered by Supreme Court and High Court precedents.

The tribunal held that the ex parte proceedings were not justified as the Assessing Officer failed to verify the correct address and serve notices properly. The appellate authorities were justified in their findings against the Assessing Officer.
The High Court held that the Tribunal's findings of fact regarding the additions under Section 69C were not perverse. The assessee failed to provide sufficient explanation or justification for the unaccounted expenditure.
The High Court held that the company petition was at a nascent stage and, in light of the enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the Companies Act, 2013, it should be transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
The High Court held that the issue raised in the present appeals is covered against the appellant-assessee by its previous decision dated March 30, 2012, in ITA No. 37/2010 and other connected appeals, titled Steel Authority of India Limited versus Commissioner of Income Tax. Consequently, the Court found that no substantial question of law arises for consideration in these appeals. The ratio decidendi is that if a matter has been conclusively decided by a higher court in a similar context, subsequent appeals on the same issue without any distinguishing features will not warrant further examination. The operative direction was to dismiss the appeals.
The High Court upheld the learned Single Judge's order, finding the appellant guilty of willful disobedience of court orders. The court found no remorse from the appellant and dismissed the appeal, concurring with the punishment imposed.
