The Tribunal held that the liabilities towards sundry creditors had not ceased to exist as claimed by the Assessing Officer, as the debts were still acknowledged in the balance-sheet. It was emphasized that for section 41(1) to apply, the assessee must have obtained a real benefit from the remission or cessation of liabilities during the relevant year.
