| Decision |
The High Court examined the Tribunal's decisions regarding several expenditures claimed by the assessee. It held that the Tribunal's conclusions were based on factual determinations and did not give rise to any substantial questions of law. The court emphasized that the Tribunal was justified in allowing deductions for car repairs, affirming that there was no evidence to suggest these expenses were non-deductible. Additionally, the court supported the Tribunal's ruling on the genuineness of sales to sister concerns, confirming that the additions made by the assessing officer were unfounded. The decision also upheld the Tribunal's allowance of deductions under section 80HH, reinforcing that the requisite conditions for such deductions were met. Overall, the court rejected the application for reference to the higher court, underscoring the factual nature of the findings. |
