..... the Act or before the A.O. during the redo assessment proceedings. Before me also the appellant reiterated the same arguments without any evidences/proof. Hence, I do not find any merit in the argument of the appellant. It is apparent that the appellant company ceased its operations since 1998 and the A.O. has correctly held that as there was no business activities during the previous year relevant to the assessment year and the appellant cannot compute income/loss from business under section 28 of the Act. Further, the return of income was also filed after due date prescribed u/s. 139(3) and hence loss claimed in the return cannot be carry forwarded as per section 80 of the Income tax Act. Hence, I am not inclined to accept the submission of the appellant and dismiss all the grounds of appeal related to this issue. 12. We have heard the rival contentions.

The company has given general power of attorney to Shri P. Parameswaran and he sold the property and loans were cleared from TIIC. We find that the ld. CIT(A) has categorically decided the issue by observing as under: 11. I have perused the assessment order, the grounds of appeal and the above submissions of the appellant. The submissions of the appellant are devoid of any merits. As discussed elsewhere in this order, the A.O. has examined this issuer thoroughly. The A.O. has rejected the contention of the appellant that the ownership over the lands transferred does not belong to the company. As per the A.O. there is no provision in Companies Act to show lease-hold land as asset in balance sheet of the company, as only assets which are purchased by the company for consideration or lands transferred to the company in lieu of allotment of shares be shown as asset in th .....
