High Court directs consideration of actual figures for deductions in consolidated appeals.
The High Court directed the disposal of appeals without reference to delay. The Collector (Appeals) allowed deductions for certain expenses but disallowed others. The appellant's appeals were consolidated, and the court directed that actual figures should be considered for deductions during assessment, regardless of being less or more than provisional figures. The appeals were allowed to the extent of considering actual figures for deductions, and cross-objections were disposed of as supportive.
Issues: 1. Appellant's appeal against the Collector (Appeals) order disallowing certain deductions. 2. Appellant's appeal against the Assistant Collector's order confirmed by the Collector (Appeals) for three price lists. 3. Appellant's appeal against the Assistant Collector's order confirmed by the Collector (Appeals) for three more price lists. 4. Challenge to the observation made by the Assistant Collector regarding the calculation of duty based on audited figures.
