The High Court examined reassessment proceedings involving income from aircraft leasing treated as royalty under the Income Tax Act and India-Ireland Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). The Assessing Officer held the consideration received by the petitioner was royalty for aircraft use, taxable u/s 9(1)(vi) and the DTAA. The Court found the AO's view unsustainable based on a plain reading of Article 12(3)(a) of the DTAA.
