<h1>Tax Tribunal Rules in Favor of Assessee, Disallows Interest Addition</h1> The Tribunal allowed the appeals for the assessment years 1978-79 and 1979-80, ruling in favor of the assessee. The addition of Rs. 13,500 on account of ... - Issues:Whether the AAC erred in upholding the addition on account of disallowance of Rs. 13,500 out of interest paid by the assessee.Analysis:The appeals were directed against the orders of the AAC for the assessment years 1978-79 and 1979-80, concerning the addition of Rs. 13,500 on account of disallowance of interest paid by the assessee. The assessee, a registered firm, argued that there was no link between the borrowings and the amounts on which interest had not been charged. It was highlighted that partners had significant amounts in their capital accounts without any interest being paid to them. Additionally, it was pointed out that certain transactions involving Haryana Rice Mills and Parkash Agriculture Farm did not involve interest payments. The revenue, however, relied on a previous Tribunal decision confirming a similar addition in a prior year.In response to the revenue's arguments, the assessee's counsel emphasized that the issue in the previous appeal was different and did not relate to the current issue. Upon careful consideration, it was found that there were no fresh borrowings advanced to outsiders without interest. The connection between the interest of Haryana Rice Mills and Parkash Agriculture Farm was highlighted, showing that money received without interest exceeded the money advanced to Haryana Rice Mills. Consequently, it was concluded that the Rs. 13,500 addition was not taxable interest earned by the assessee in the years under appeal.The Tribunal noted that while there were references to previous observations, each year must be considered based on its own facts as the principle of res judicata does not apply to income-tax proceedings. Therefore, the appeals were allowed based on the merits and facts of the specific years under consideration.
