Issues:
1. Condonation of delay in filing appeals by the Revenue.
2. Deduction under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act.
3. Treatment of carbon credit receipts under section 80IA of the Act.

Issue 1: Condonation of Delay
The appeals filed by the Revenue were found to be late by one day. The Assessing Officer filed an affidavit for condonation of delay, which was accepted. The delay was condoned, and the appeals were admitted for hearing.

Issue 2: Deduction under Section 80IA
The Revenue appealed against the deduction claimed by the assessee under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act for the assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The Assessing Officer disallowed the deduction citing an SLP filed by the Department before the Supreme Court. The CIT(A) directed the Assessing Officer to allow the claim based on the decision of the Jurisdictional High Court. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, dismissing the Revenue's appeal.

Issue 3: Treatment of Carbon Credit Receipts
The Revenue disputed the deduction under section 80IA for profit from the sale of carbon credits. The CIT(A) allowed the claim based on a Tribunal decision treating carbon credit receipts as capital receipts. The Revenue relied on a different Tribunal decision, but the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision following the High Court's judgment that carbon credit receipts are capital in nature. The appeals filed by the Revenue were dismissed based on these findings.

In summary, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decisions regarding the deduction under section 80IA and the treatment of carbon credit receipts. The delay in filing the appeals by the Revenue was condoned, and the appeals were dismissed based on the established legal principles and precedents cited in the judgments.
