Reported in: (1988)26ITD259(Mum.)

1. The above three appeals relate to assessment years 1978-79, 1979-80 and 1981-82. The main arguments were addressed by the assessee's counsel, Shri D.M. Harish, in respect of ITA No. 7106 (Bom.)/84 for the assessment year 1981-82. We will therefore deal with this appeal first.2. The assesses is a limited company which is running an industry at Kanjur Marg, Bhandup. It had at the relevant time business of forgings and in automobile spare parts. For the assessment year 1981-82, the accounting period ended on 31-12-1980.

It is also the assessee's further ground that the CIT (Appeals) erred that the IAC had wrongly allowed a deduction of Rs. 38,56,828 in his directions Under Section 144B and consequently erred in enhancing ...
