The Tribunal noted that the petitioner had the remedy of filing an application for stay before the Appellate Authority, as an appeal against the assessment order for Assessment Years 2013-14 and 2014-15 was pending. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner prayed for permission to withdraw the petition with liberty to approach the Appellate Authority. The Court disposed of the petition with liberty to the petitioner to file a stay application before the Appellate Authority. It was ordered that no coercive steps would be taken by the respondent authorities for recovery from the petitioner for the assessment years 2013-14 and 2014-15 until the petitioner obtained an order from the Appellate Authority, provided such an application was filed within two weeks. The operative direction was to dispose of the petition as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty.
The High Court, without entering into the merits of the case, directed that the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal shall decide the petitioner's appeal (Appeal No. 355/IND/2017) in accordance with law after hearing all concerned within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the order. Furthermore, the Court ordered that till the appeal is decided by the Tribunal, further assessment proceedings in pursuance of the order under Section 263 of the Act shall remain stayed. The Writ Petition was disposed of with these directions. No issue was expressly left undecided.
The High Court held that the present appeal filed by the revenue had no merit and did not raise any substantial question of law. This conclusion was based on the fact that the revenue's earlier appeal (ITA No.14/2016) challenging the Tribunal's order dated 30.09.2015 (which had set aside the CIT's Section 263 order and restored the AO's original order) was dismissed. Furthermore, a subsequent review petition filed against this dismissal was also dismissed. Therefore, the High Court found the present appeal to be infructuous. The operative direction was to dismiss the appeal.
The High Court held that the issue involved in the appeal was already settled by a Division Bench of the same Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Swastik Coal Corporation Pvt. Ltd. (supra). The Court found that no substantial question of law arose from the ITAT's order. Therefore, the appeal filed by the Revenue was dismissed. The reasoning for the dismissal is based on the precedent established in the Swastik Coal Corporation case, implying that the ITAT's decision, which was consistent with that precedent, was considered correct. The operative direction is the dismissal of the appeal. No issues were expressly left undecided.
The High Court held that the Tribunal did not commit any legal error in upholding the CIT(A)'s finding that the Back Pressure Turbine was installed and ready for commercial usage before September 30, 2008. The court found that the CIT(A)'s conclusion was based on factual evidence, including supplier certificates and investment patterns, which the Revenue failed to controvert with cogent evidence. Therefore, the disallowance of interest on borrowed funds for the period the asset was not put to use was correctly restricted. Similarly, the deletion of excess depreciation claimed by the assessee was also upheld. The court also noted that the issue regarding the date of putting the asset to use had been decided in favor of the assessee in a prior assessment year (2008-09) and that the Revenue had not pointed out any perversity in the Tribunal's findings. The appeal was dismissed as no substantial question of law arose. The operative direction was the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.
The High Court held that no substantial question of law arises in the appeal. It affirmed the view taken by the lower appellate authorities that the Rs. 40,00,000 received as corpus donation for building construction, being for a specific purpose, cannot be treated as part of income. The reasoning was that such an amount is in the nature of a capital receipt and therefore not taxable under the Income Tax Act, 1961. This conclusion was based on the law laid down by the Bombay High Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax v. Trustees of Kasturba Scindia Commission Trust. Consequently, the addition made by the Assessing Officer towards the taxable income of the assessee was not sustainable. The appeal was dismissed as having no merit.
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal. It held that the assessee was engaged in government contracts and followed a mercantile system of accounting. However, the assessee preferred reimbursement of expenses relating to contract work beyond the contract agreement and did not show income in the year the contract work was done. Instead, income was shown upon realization from the department. This method of accounting had been followed for many years and accepted by the department. The Tribunal found this practice was approved by the Apex Court in the case of CIT vs. Ansal Land Mark Township (P) Ltd. Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that no substantial question of law arose and upheld the ITAT's order. The issue regarding interest paid to M/s Sundram Finance Limited for non-deduction of tax was restored to the AO for decision in light of the Supreme Court's judgment in CIT vs. Ansal Land Mark Township (P) Ltd.
The High Court held that the Revenue's appeals were misconceived and deserved to be dismissed. Regarding the first issue, the Court found that the ITAT had not deleted any addition made by the AO. Instead, it had directed the AO to recompute the assessee's income after adjusting the values of opening stock, purchases, sales, and closing stock to include Excise Duty, and to verify the working submitted by the assessee. The Court noted that this direction was supported by the language of Section 145A and CBDT Circular No. 772. The Court also referred to decisions of the Delhi High Court in CIT vs. Mahavir Aluminium Limited and CIT V/s Mahalaxmi Glass Works Ltd., and the Supreme Court in Navnit Lal C. Javeri, Jay Kishan Gopi Kishan & Sons, and K.P. Varghese, emphasizing the binding nature of CBDT circulars and the requirement for corresponding adjustments in opening stock when closing stock is adjusted under Section 145A. The Court concluded that since the ITAT had remanded the matter for re-computation and verification, no substantial question of law arose, particularly in light of the Gujarat High Court's decision in ACIT v/s B.N. Corporation. Therefore, the appeals were dismissed.

The Tribunal held that the review petition is not maintainable. The High Court's previous order dated 20.07.2017 had dismissed the appeal, affirming the penalty, on the ground that the receipt of cash by the company was a clear violation of Section 269SS of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal, after considering the principles of review as laid down by the Apex Court, found no error apparent on the face of the record. The judgment emphasizes that a review is not a substitute for an appeal and cannot be used for re-appreciation of evidence or for re-hearing the case. The petitioner failed to demonstrate any mistake or error that was prima facie visible and did not require detailed examination. Therefore, the review petition was dismissed. No issue was expressly left undecided.
The Tribunal held that the report of M/s. Geonko India Pvt. Ltd., which was extracted by and relied upon by Mr. Pilliwar, should consequently stand quashed along with the Volumetric Report. Furthermore, the coordinates obtained through Total Station Method, on the basis of which Mr. Pilliwar prepared his report, also consequently stand quashed. The Tribunal substituted a paragraph in its earlier order to reflect this clarification. The matter was remanded back to the Settlement Commission to process the petitioner's application afresh, ignoring the Volumetric Report dated 24/07/2012, the report of M/s. Geonko, and the coordinates prepared by Mr. Pilliwar. The Settlement Commission was directed to consider all other relevant documents and materials to pass an appropriate order in accordance with law. The review petition was allowed, and the present order was to be read conjointly with the earlier order dated 27/04/2017.
The High Court of Madhya Pradesh disposed of the writ petition with a liberty to the petitioner. The Court directed that if the petitioner files a stay application before the Appellate Authority within 15 days from the date of the order, the Appellate Authority shall consider and decide the application on its merits within the subsequent 15 days. The Court did not decide on the merits of the original assessment or the appeal, focusing solely on the procedural aspect of the stay application. The ratio is that the High Court can direct expeditious disposal of procedural applications like stay applications when appropriate circumstances are presented, without delving into the substantive issues of the appeal.
The High Court held that the department was justified in issuing the demand notice and the subsequent letter dated 04/10/2017. The Court found that the assessee had failed to deposit 20% of the outstanding demand as per the revised CBDT Instruction dated 31/07/2017. The Court noted that the Rs.12 Crores payment was made by MPAKVN on 11/12/2014 as self-assessment tax against its returned income, and not against the assessment demand raised on 28/04/2017. The credit for this self-assessment tax was subsequently given via a rectification order under Section 154 dated 09/10/2017, resulting in a revised demand. The Court observed that the issue regarding the levy of tax on lease premium was a matter to be decided by the CIT(Appeal). Since the 20% of the demand was not deposited, the Court found no case for interference and declined admission. The Court also noted that the ICICI Bank's actions in allowing withdrawals after an interim order were questionable and the Income Tax Department was free to take appropriate steps against the bank. The connected writ petition for SEZ Indore Ltd. was also dismissed as the facts were similar.

The High Court held that both questions raised by the Revenue were purely questions of fact, not substantial questions of law. The Court noted that the Assessing Officer disallowed depreciation on the ground of non-ownership. However, both the Commissioner (Appeals) and the ITAT had decided the issue in favour of the assessee, based on their analysis of the relevant documents and facts. The Court found concurrent findings of fact by both appellate authorities. Therefore, as the ITAT was the last authority on facts, and its findings were based on an analysis of evidence, the High Court considered itself bound by these factual determinations. The appeals were dismissed on the grounds that they did not involve substantial questions of law.
The High Court held that both questions raised by the Revenue were purely questions of fact, not substantial questions of law. The Court noted that the ITAT, as the final authority on facts, had analyzed the relevant documents and facts. Furthermore, the first appellate authority (Commissioner of Income Tax Appeals) had also decided the issue in favour of the assessee, resulting in concurrent findings of fact by both appellate authorities. Consequently, the High Court found no legal infirmity in the ITAT's order and concluded that the appeals did not involve substantial questions of law. The appeals were therefore dismissed.

The High Court held that the appeals filed by the Revenue were not maintainable. The Court noted that the tax effect in all the appeals, including the one for ITA No. 119/2016 (Rs. 19,120/-) and others ranging up to Rs. 6,24,645/-, did not exceed the monetary limit of Rs. 20,00,000/- prescribed by the CBDT Circular dated 10/12/2015 for filing appeals before the High Court. The Court also observed that the present cases did not fall under the exceptions mentioned in paragraph 8 of the Circular, such as challenges to constitutional validity, illegality of Board's orders, or issues related to undisclosed foreign assets. Consequently, the Court disposed of the appeals in light of the Circular, without delving into the merits of the ITAT's orders. No order as to costs was made.

The High Court held that the appeals filed by the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax-I, Indore, were not maintainable and disposed of them accordingly. The Court noted that the tax effect in all the appeals did not exceed the monetary limit of Rs. 20,00,000/- prescribed by the CBDT Circular dated 10/12/2015 for filing appeals before the High Court. The Court also observed that the present cases did not fall under the exceptions mentioned in paragraph 8 of the Circular, which would warrant contesting appeals on merits despite a low tax effect. These exceptions included challenges to constitutional validity, Board's orders being held illegal, revenue audit objections accepted by the Department, or additions relating to undisclosed foreign assets/bank accounts. Since none of these exceptional circumstances were present, the appeals were disposed of in light of the Circular. No order as to costs was made.
