2014 (11) TMI 1233 - MADRAS HIGH COURTAccrual of income - claim of deduction of the amounts retained by its clients as per the contracts - According to the assessee, as the amounts were not received, they cannot be considered as part of income for the impugned assessment year - HELD THAT:- The original authority, while considering the decision of this Court in Commissioner of Income Tax v. Ignifluid Boilers (P) Ltd.,. [2006 (1) TMI 76 - MADRAS HIGH COURT] was of the view that since the issue was pending before the Supreme Court and that such a claim is of recurring nature, declined to extend the benefit to the assessee. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), however, laying emphasis on the decision of this Court in Ignifluid Boilers (P) Ltd., case (supra), allowed the appeal of the assessee and the department's appeal before the Tribunal was dismissed holding that the decision of the jurisdictional High Court is binding on the Tribunal and therefore there was no reason to differ with the findings of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). The said order of the Tribunal is under challenge before us. When the matter was taken up for admission, the learned counsel for the appellant fairly pointed out that the Special Leave Petition preferred by the department in Ignifluid Boilers (P) Ltd., case was dismissed by the Supreme Court [2006 (7) TMI 726 - SC ORDER] Since the issue raised in this appeal had already been decided against the department as Commissioner of Income Tax v. M/s Ignified Boilers India Ltd.(Supra) and in Commissioner of Income Tax v. East Coast Constructions & Industries Limited [2006 (12) TMI 574 - SC ORDER] no question of law arises for consideration.
