The question was answered in the affirmative, in favor of the assessee.
  
  Issue 2: Depreciation and extra shift allowance on storage tanks and bore-wells
  The Tribunal's decision to allow depreciation and extra shift allowance on storage tanks and bore-wells as plant was criticized for not applying the "functional test."

• 1986 (2) TMI 3
  
  Issues:
  Whether the sum of Rs. 2,04,006 was an admissible deduction in the computation of the assessee's total income for the assessment year 1968-69.
  
  Analysis:
  The case involved a firm engaged in the purchase and sale of liquor under a license issued by the Government of Rajasthan. The firm was required to lift country liquor of a specified value during the accounting period, failing which it would be liable to make good the deficiency. The firm only took delivery of liquor worth Rs. 2,98,014, resulting in a shortfall of Rs. 2,04,006, which was claimed as a trading loss. The Income-tax Officer initially rejected the claim, stating it was not a business loss. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner also disallowed the claim. However, the Tribunal upheld the claim, considering the deficiency as a trading loss directly related to the firm's business activities.
  
  The Tribunal referred the question of the admissibility of the deduction to the High Court. The High Court noted a previous decision where a similar issue was considered, and a deficiency between guaranteed amount and actual purchase was allowed as a trading loss. The High Court held that the liability to pay the deficiency directly arose from the firm's business activities and was thus an allowable trading loss. Therefore, based on the precedent set by the previous decision, the High Court answered the question in favor of the assessee and against the Revenue, allowing the deduction of Rs. 2,04,006 as a trading loss for the assessment year 1968-69. The parties were directed to bear their own costs of the reference.

  The High Court of Madhya Pradesh dismissed an application under section 256(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The court held that the Tribunal's decision to apply the deduction percentage to total income before any deductions was correct, based on a circular from the Central Board of Direct Taxes. The court rejected the application as the question raised did not arise from the Tribunal's order.
