1. Disallowance of amortization of lease rent:
The appellant raised concerns regarding the order passed by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the confirmation of disallowances. The Tribunal upheld the grievance of the assessee based on a judgment by the jurisdictional High Court, directing the deletion of the disallowance of Rs. 14,51,000.

2. Applicability of section 14A(2) and disallowance under section 14A r.w.s. 8D:
The grievance of the assessee was regarding the applicability of section 14A(2) and the disallowance made by the Assessing Officer. The Tribunal found in favor of the assessee, citing a co-ordinate bench decision for the assessment year 2009-10. The disallowance was restricted to Rs. 1,00,000 in alignment with the previous year's decision.

3. Disallowance of deduction claimed under section 80IA:
The appellant contested the disallowance of deduction claimed under section 80IA. The Assessing Officer had declined the claim based on the rate of power generation and sale value. The Tribunal remitted the matter to the Assessing Officer for re-examination in light of a High Court judgment, allowing the deduction if the profits were computed based on the approved rate of power generation.

4. Disallowance of expenditure for replacement of re-membraning cells:
The Assessing Officer's addition on account of disallowance of expenditure for replacement of re-membraning cells was challenged. The Tribunal upheld the decision of the Commissioner, citing a judgment in the assessee's own case by the jurisdictional High Court.

The Assessing Officer's disallowance of depreciation on chlorine tonners and computers was contested. The Tribunal dismissed the grounds raised by the Assessing Officer, following a judgment by the jurisdictional High Court in the assessee's favor.

6. Disallowance of additional depreciation on wind electric generator:
The Assessing Officer's disallowance of additional depreciation on wind electric generator was disputed. The Tribunal rejected the grievance of the Assessing Officer, aligning with a co-ordinate bench's decision in the assessee's case for the assessment year 2008-09.

7. Captive power generation plant and claim allowance:
The issue of captive power generation plant and the claim allowance was raised by the Assessing Officer. The Tribunal upheld the decision of the Commissioner, relying on a High Court judgment in the assessee's favor, thus dismissing the grounds raised by the Assessing Officer.

In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal and dismissed the Revenue's appeal based on the detailed analysis and judgments cited for each issue raised in the case.
