2001 (12) TMI 12 - HC - Income TaxDepreciation - Actual Cost - "Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the provision of Explanation 3 to section 43(1) applied to the facts of the case and that the assessee is not entitled to depreciation on the book value of assets of the earlier firm but only on the value as fixed by the Income-tax Officer under Explanation 3 to section 43(1) of the Income-tax Act 1961?" - Here the firm was dissolved within about 13 months of its formation. The two partners besides the assessee-company were also the only two shareholders and directors of the company. The reality before and after the dissolution was the same. The same person who enjoyed the benefits of the ownership of the assets and its uses continue to have such benefits, the two partners indirectly and the assessee itself directly. The findings recorded by the Tribunal in this background cannot be faulted. The question referred to us is therefore answered in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee.
