2018 (3) TMI 1775 - AT - Income TaxAddition u/s 36(1)(va) r.w.s. 2(24)(x) - late payment of Employees Contribution to PF/ESI - HELD THAT:- The issue in question is squarely covered against the assessee by in the case of CIT vs. Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation [2014 (1) TMI 502 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT] wherein it is categorically held that in the case of delayed deposit of employees contribution to PF, the same will not be deductable in computing income under section 28 of the Act. The law so laid down by the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court is binding on us. The mere fact that an appeal against the said decision is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court does not dilute binding nature of this judicial precedent. As regard dismissal of SLP in the case of Rajasthan State Beverages Corporation Ltd (supra), it is only elementary that when a SLP is dismissed by a non- speaking order, it does not constitute a law declared by Hon’ble Supreme court, and as such, it is not binding under Article 141 of the Constitution of India. We, therefore, see no legally sustainable merit in the case of the assessee - Decided against assessee.
