Adjustment on account of disallowance u/s 14A in computation of book profit u/s 115JB.4. Non-following of previous decision by ITAT on the issue.Detailed Analysis:1. Deduction u/s. 80-IA(4) for generation of power for captive consumption:The High Court addressed whether the ITAT was justified in upholding the decision that deduction u/s. 80-IA(4) is allowable to the assessee for power generation for captive consumption. The court analyzed previous decisions and held in favor of the assessee, dismissing the revenue's appeal.2. Claim of deduction u/s 80-IA(4) based on power generation rates:The court examined whether the Tribunal was correct in allowing the deduction of a specific amount under section 80-IA(4) when the assessee adopted a higher rate for power generation compared to the rate at which power was supplied to the GEB. After considering various legal precedents, the court sided with the assessee, ruling against the revenue's appeal.3. Adjustment on account of disallowance u/s 14A in computation of book profit u/s 115JB:The court considered whether the adjustment made on account of disallowance u/s 14A in the computation of book profit u/s 115JB was lawful. Referring to a previous decision and the rationale behind it, the court concluded that the adjustment was not in accordance with the law, favoring the assessee and dismissing the revenue's appeal.4. Non-following of previous decision by ITAT on the issue:The High Court examined whether the ITAT was justified in not following its previous decision in a similar case involving Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. The court referred to the decision and upheld that the issues needed to be answered in favor of the assessee based on the evidence and previous legal rulings, ultimately dismissing the revenue's appeal.
