The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer erred in treating the assessee as the sole owner. The leasehold rights of M/s ESS ESS Metals and Electricals were valid and could not be ignored, making the division of sale consideration between the parties appropriate.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's activities, including sponsorship, ticket sales, and user charges, were intrinsically linked to promoting cricket and did not constitute trade, commerce, or business. Therefore, the assessee was entitled to exemption under section 11.
The Tribunal held that a claim for depreciation, even if disallowed, is not a 'false claim' or 'inaccurate particulars' if all details were furnished. Therefore, penalty under Section 271(1)(c) is not sustainable in such debatable issues.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the file of the CIT(A) with a direction to provide one more opportunity to the assessee to present its case. The CIT(A) is to decide the appeal on merits after affording a proper hearing.
The Tribunal held that when the AO of the searched person and the assessee are the same, a single satisfaction note recorded by that AO is sufficient for initiating proceedings under Section 153C.

The Tribunal restored the issue to the CIT(A) for re-examination of the evidence regarding the subsistence of trade liabilities, as both parties agreed to this course of action.
The Tribunal held that the addition was not based on any incriminating material found during the search but on post-search inquiries. Therefore, the addition made under Section 153A was void ab initio.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals as withdrawn, noting the assessee's request for withdrawal and the Revenue's objection to a conditional withdrawal. The dismissal was for all adjudicatory purposes.

The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) erred in rejecting the rectification application, as non-consideration of the jurisdictional High Court's decision constituted a mistake apparent from the record. The matter was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.

For travelling expenses, the Tribunal found no specific personal expenditure pointed out by the AO and upheld the deletion of the ad-hoc disallowance.
The Tribunal held that the AO had made adequate inquiries and examined the documentary evidence provided by the assessee. The PCIT's view was not the only plausible view, and the assessment order could not be considered erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue.

The Tribunal confirmed penalties on suppressed sales and bogus share capital for AY 2002-03. For AY 2005-06, penalties were confirmed on suppressed sales and un-refunded advances, but deleted on disallowances related to Section 40A(3) and deferred revenue expenditure.
The Tribunal directed the AO to re-examine the gold desk transactions and foreign currency forward contracts in light of the High Court's judgment, considering the assessee's contentions regarding hedging and specific contracts.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A)'s order was not illegal or perverse, following a coordinate bench's decision in the assessee's own case for a prior assessment year. The earlier decision had accepted similar claims for exemption under Section 11 based on the rule of consistency.
The Tribunal held that the assessee, being a company, was required to file the appeal electronically in Form 35. It found that the assessee had indeed filed electronically and provided evidence of payment of fees.
