The tribunal held that since M/s Micra India Pvt. Ltd. had ceased to exist due to amalgamation, the notice issued to it was invalid. Consequently, the assessment proceedings were a nullity as they were completed against a non-existent company.

The High Court found that the ITAT's deletion of the entire sum was not justified due to a lack of proper correlation of transactions. The Court set aside the ITAT's order to the extent of the deletion and sustained a modified addition.

The High Court found that the ITAT's deletion of the entire sum was not justified due to a lack of proper correlation of transactions. The Court set aside the ITAT's order to the extent of the deletion and sustained a modified addition.

The High Court held that the CIT(Appeals) was correct in diluting the addition as there was no concrete material to suggest that income had accrued or arisen. The AO's failure to make further inquiries despite the borrower's letter explaining the absence of interest was also noted.

The Delhi High Court held that the assessee's activities of collecting, collating, formatting data, and exporting it constituted 'manufacture' or 'production' of computer software. The court found that the process involved significant transformation and resulted in a distinct product.

The High Court held that the re-opening of assessment was impermissible as it was based on a 'change of opinion' without any fresh material. The satisfaction note for re-opening lacked specificity and did not indicate any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose material facts.

The High Court held that guest house expenses are disallowable under Section 37(4) in favor of the Revenue. Interest from customers on delayed payments is eligible for Section 80-I benefits, while interest on FDRs and other deposits are not, with a limited remand for netting. For Section 32AB, income from interest on debentures, loans, intercorporate deposits, and dividend was held to be business income and thus eligible for deduction, in favor of the assessee.

The Delhi High Court held that the assessee's multi-stage process of collecting, collating, designing, editing, and formatting data into a ready-to-print format constitutes 'manufacture' or 'production' of computer software. The court found the revenue's contention that the output was merely data compilation to be unpersuasive.

The High Court held that the assessee's four-stage process of compiling, designing, editing, and formatting data into a ready-to-print format constituted 'manufacture' or 'production' of computer software. The court found the term 'computer software' to be wide enough to include customized electronic data and content development.

The Tribunal held that the TDS credit should be allowed to the assessee as the sister company had not availed the credit and disallowing it would lead to a travesty of justice. The court emphasized that procedure should not hamper justice.

The High Court held that the second reassessment notice was based on a re-appreciation of the original record, which is impermissible. The court affirmed that the "reason to believe" for reassessment must be based on "tangible material" outside the original assessment record.

The Tribunal held that the pre-capitalization expenses were revenue in nature due to interlacing and intermingling of funds between the new venture and the existing business. The High Court affirmed the ITAT's decision, finding it consistent with established legal principles.

The High Court set aside the orders of the learned Single Judge that had dismissed the appellants' applications. The court condoned the delay in filing the appeals and directed the appellants to appear before the learned Single Judge for fresh consideration.

The High Court remanded the issue of speculative loss for fresh consideration, directing the CIT(A) to obtain a remand report. However, it upheld the ITAT's decision regarding the addition of loans, finding that the assessee had established the identity and creditworthiness of the creditors.

The High Court held that the five appeals filed by the Revenue were not maintainable. The primary reasoning was based on a Full Bench judgment of the same High Court in Lachman Dass Bhatia V. Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax. The Court also noted that the grounds of appeal raised by the Revenue in the present appeals had already been considered and urged in the appeal against the main order of the ITAT dated 31.01.2013. Therefore, the appeals were dismissed on the grounds of non-maintainability. No decision was made on the merits of the rectification application or the original order.

The High Court held that 'sufficient cause' for refusing share registration under Section 111A(2) of the Companies Act, 1956, is not limited to legal violations but can include situations where the transfer is not in the best interest of the company and is supported by material evidence. The Court found that the circumstances presented by the Appellant constituted sufficient cause.

The High Court held that the five appeals filed by the Revenue were not maintainable. The primary reasoning was based on a Full Bench judgment of the same High Court in Lachman Dass Bhatia V. Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, which likely established a precedent regarding the maintainability of appeals against orders passed on rectification applications under Section 254(2) of the Income Tax Act. Additionally, the Court noted that the grounds urged by the Revenue in these appeals had already been raised in the appeal against the ITAT's main order dated 31.01.2013. Therefore, the appeals were dismissed on the grounds of non-maintainability, without delving into the merits of the rectification application or the original assessment. No specific relief was granted to the Revenue, and no issue was left undecided as the appeals were disposed of on a procedural ground.

The Tribunal held that royalty payments and technical service fees were revenue expenditure, not capital. Payments for intranet services were also deemed valid revenue expenditure. The claim for depreciation under Section 32(1) on know-how fees was also upheld.

The High Court dismissed all the applications filed by the respondent. The court found the prayers to be misdirected, irrelevant to the contempt proceedings, or unnecessary given the court's existing capabilities.

The High Court held that royalty payments and technical fees were revenue expenditure, consistent with previous years' treatment and ITAT's findings. Payments for intranet services were also deemed valid revenue expenditure. The claim for depreciation under Section 32(1) on know-how fees was allowed.
