High Court remands depreciation issue, upholds Quarry Development Expenditure decision.
The High Court set aside the ITAT's decision on the deletion of additions made by the AO for depreciation claimed by the Assessee, remanding the issue for further consideration on whether the Assessee's units were operational and if the assets claimed for depreciation were utilized. Regarding the claim of Quarry Development Expenditure as revenue expenditure, the Court upheld the decisions of the CIT(A) and ITAT, finding no legal flaw and disposing of the appeals solely for a fresh decision on the depreciation claimed by the Assessee.
Issues: 1. Deletion of additions made by the AO pertaining to depreciation claimed by the Assessee on its block of assets. 2. Claim by the Assessee of the Quarry Development Expenditure as revenue expenditure.
Analysis: 1. The High Court addressed the first issue regarding the deletion of additions made by the AO concerning depreciation claimed by the Assessee on its block of assets. The ITAT based its decision on the CIT(A)'s order for previous years where assets were kept "as a stand by for the whole year." The COD did not allow the Revenue to appeal against the CIT(A)'s decision for those years. The ITAT declined to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order deleting the addition made by the AO. The Court noted that the ITAT failed to consider whether the Assessee's units were operational for the relevant assessment years and if the assets claimed for depreciation were actually utilized. The Court set aside the ITAT's order on depreciation and remanded the appeals for a fresh decision.
2. The second issue involved the claim by the Assessee of the Quarry Development Expenditure as revenue expenditure. The Assessee explained to the AO that part of the expenditure was used for capital works while the rest was claimed as revenue expenditure. Both the CIT(A) and the ITAT accepted the Assessee's explanation. The Court found no legal flaw in their decision and declined to raise any question on this issue. Consequently, the appeals were disposed of by setting aside the ITAT's order on depreciation and remanding the appeals solely for a fresh decision on the depreciation claimed by the Assessee.
