Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-05-1982

Reported in: (2009)34CTR(Mad)151; [1984]147ITR337(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. The assessee in this income-tax reference is one Nagi Reddy. He was, at the material time, the owner of two cinematograph film studios in Madras, by name Vijaya Studios and Vahini Studios. He leased them out on rent to a company called Vijaya Productions Private Limited. The rental income was assessable as part of the assessee's total income. The question, however, was under which head of income the lease amounts were to be assessed for purpose of computation. The ITO and the AAC rejected the assessee's claim. But the Income tax Appellate Tribunal accepted the assessee's contention and directed the assessment of the rental income as business income with all that it involved, including allowance of depreciation on buildings and machinery. The Tribunal, in their order, have set out the grounds for their determination. The Department's contention in these references is that the Tribunal's decision is erroneous in point of law. 2. As earlier indicated, the dispute in...
