Issue 1 - Disallowance of Brought Forward Depreciation:
The Appellate Tribunal ITAT DELHI addressed cross-appeals for AY 2009-10 concerning the disallowance of brought forward depreciation. The Revenue challenged the restriction of disallowance to Rs. 87,92,149 by the Ld. CIT(A), as opposed to the Rs. 4,19,90,966 disallowed by the AO. The Tribunal noted that the AO disallowed carry forward of depreciation from AY 2000-01 to 2009-10 and unabsorbed depreciation up to AY 01-02 totaling Rs. 1,96,32,702. The Ld. CIT(A) allowed partial relief but did not consider the amendment to section 10B of the IT Act correctly. Referring to judgments of the Delhi High Court, the Tribunal restored the issue to the Ld. CIT(A) for fresh examination, emphasizing the need to consider relevant details and judgments before reaching a conclusion. The Tribunal directed the assessee to cooperate and submit necessary details for proper adjudication.

Issue 2 - Disallowance of Commission Expenses:
The assessee challenged the disallowance of commission amounting to Rs. 24,39,930. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the addition, citing the absence of an agreement between parties and lack of details on services rendered by commission recipients. The Tribunal observed that the assessee was not given ample time to submit required information. In the interest of justice, the issue was restored to the Ld. CIT(A) for fresh examination, with a directive for the assessee to cooperate and provide necessary details.

Issue 3 - Disallowance of Agriculture Expenses:
Regarding the disallowance of Rs. 30,117 for agriculture expenses, the Ld. CIT(A) upheld the disallowance due to the absence of evidence to counter the AO's observations. The Tribunal deemed it fit to restore this issue to the Ld. CIT(A) for reevaluation after obtaining required details from the assessee. The Tribunal directed the assessee to cooperate in the proceedings and submit relevant information.

In conclusion, the Appellate Tribunal allowed both appeals for statistical purposes, emphasizing the need for proper examination and cooperation from the assessee in addressing the issues raised. The judgments of the Delhi High Court were highlighted as crucial in determining the outcomes of the appeals.
