Ltd.</h3> Commissioner Of Income Tax Versus Adoon Electronics P. Ltd. - [1998] 232 ITR 528, 150 CTR 614 Issues:Interpretation of section 115J of the Income-tax Act, 1961 regarding the computation of profits for tax purposes based on unabsorbed depreciation and business loss.Analysis:The High Court of Madhya Pradesh considered an application by the Department (CIT, Bhopal) under section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, regarding the computation of profits under section 115J. The Tribunal referred a question regarding the justification of including unabsorbed depreciation and business loss in the computation of profits for tax purposes. The assessee claimed unabsorbed depreciation and business loss totaling Rs. 2,72,656, while the net profit was Rs. 2,68,314. The Assessing Officer allowed a deduction of only Rs. 20,365, leading to a dispute that escalated through various levels of appeal.The Tribunal, relying on previous judgments, directed the Assessing Officer to consider the total unabsorbed depreciation and business loss and allow a deduction of the lesser amount. The High Court analyzed the legal position, citing cases such as CIT v. Jaipuria China Clay Mines (P.) Ltd. and Garden Silk Weaving Factory v. CIT, to support the Tribunal's decision. The Court concluded that the Tribunal's order was legally sound and justified, as it aligned with the interpretation of relevant provisions and case law.Therefore, the High Court answered the question in favor of the assessee and against the Department. The reference was disposed of without costs, with a fixed counsel fee for either side. The Court directed the transmission of the order to the Tribunal in accordance with the law, concluding the judgment on the matter.
