Petitioner: COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX VS Respondent: CONCORD INDUSTRIES LTD.
Court Name: Supreme Court of India Judge(s): G. T. Nanavati, S. C. Agarwal Title: COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX vs CONCORD INDUSTRIES LTD. Case No.: Civil Appeal No. 1807 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1997-01-28 Reported As: 2001 PTD 2453 Result: Appeal dismissed
Judgment ORDER This appeal, by certificate granted by the Madras High Court under section 261 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 arises out of the reference made by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in which the following question was answered by the High Court in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue (see (1979) 119 ITR 458, 459): "Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, it has been rightly held by the Appellate Tribunal that the provisions of section 79 would not apply to unabsorbed depreciation and development rebate?" We have heard Shri Ranbir Chandra, learned counsel appearing for the Revenue, in support of the appeal. One of the conditions for the applicability of section 79 is that there should be a change in the shares holding of the company. Shri Ranbir Chandra has not been able to show that a finding has been recorded by any authority regarding the change of shareholding of the company for the applicability of section 79. We, therefore, do not find any merit in the appeal and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. .
