The ITAT held that settlement payment made under an invoked corporate guarantee was deductible as business expenditure because it arose from commercial expediency. It rejected the Revenue's challenge to the existence of the liability and to the claim that the amount was not incurred wholly and exclusively for business purposes, noting that the arbitration and execution proceedings had already proceeded on the basis of that guarantee.
