Issues:
1. Disallowance of deduction for expenditure claimed as capital in nature.
2. Disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Rules read with Section 14A of the Income tax Act.
3. Investment in shares without earning dividends.

Issue 1: The appellant challenged the disallowance of deduction for an expenditure of Rs. 48,56,088 claimed as capital in nature. The expenditure was related to the installation of spinning machines, which the appellant argued was a revenue expense. The AO rejected the claim stating the expenditure was of capital nature, as previously debited to capital work in progress. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance. The appellant cited relevant judgments but the CIT(A) failed to consider them. The ITAT set aside the decision and remanded the issue back to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision after considering the appellant's arguments.

Issue 2: The dispute involved the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Rules read with Section 14A of the Income tax Act. The appellant contended that no dividend was earned on investments made in the early 1990s. The Ld. AR relied on precedents to support the claim. The Ld. Sr.DR requested verification of the dividend earnings. The ITAT, considering the submissions and evidence, remanded the issue to the CIT(A) for verification and necessary relief based on the facts presented and judicial precedents.

Issue 3: The appellant's appeal was allowed by the ITAT, directing the CIT(A) to re-examine the issues related to the disallowance of deduction for expenditure claimed as capital in nature and the investment in shares without earning dividends. The ITAT emphasized the need for a thorough review based on the arguments presented and the evidence available. The appellant's contentions were deemed worthy of reconsideration, leading to the decision in favor of the appellant.
