The Court dismissed the appeals challenging the disallowance of expenditure for Assessment Years 2006-07 and 2008-09. The disallowance was found to be unjustified as it was made on an ad hoc basis without proper justification, and no substantial question of law arose. Additionally, the treatment of website expenditure as revenue expenditure was upheld based on established precedent, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.

Analysis:
Issue 1: Disallowance of Expenditure The appeals by the Revenue challenge orders of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal regarding the disallowance of expenditure for separate years. The AO disallowed significant amounts of expenditure for the Assessment Years 2006-07 and 2008-09 based on the reasoning that since the business had been sold, the reported expenditure levels were unjustified. The Tribunal, in the case of Assessment Year 2008-09, scrutinized the details provided by the assessee regarding the business transactions and income sources. The AO's disallowance was based on a mathematical exercise without specifically identifying which expenses were not incurred for business purposes. The Tribunal observed that the AO's conclusion that expenses were incurred for businesses no longer operated by the assessee was unfounded. The disallowance was deleted by the CIT(A) as it was made on an ad hoc basis without proper justification, leading to the conclusion that no substantial question of law arose.
Issue 2: Treatment of Website Expenditure In another ground raised by the Revenue in ITA No.716/2017, the treatment of website expenditure was disputed. The AO disallowed the claim as capital expenditure, but both the CIT and the ITAT overturned this decision. The ITAT relied on the precedent set by the jurisdictional High Court and held that expenditure on website development is a revenue expenditure. Citing the judgment in CIT v. India visit.com, the ITAT upheld the order on this issue. The Court concurred with this decision, stating that no question of law arose regarding the nature of the expenditure based on the established precedent.
In conclusion, the Court held that the appeals did not raise any substantial question of law and dismissed ITA No.724/2017, 716/2017, and 753/2017 accordingly.
