At the instance of the Revenue, the following question has been referred to this court for its opinion by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal :\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the assessee is entitled to depreciation in respect of the assets for which deduction under section 35(2) was allowed in the earlier assessment years ?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. In this case, the Tribunal has taken the view that the assessee is entitled to depreciation with reference to the assets for which relief had been granted under s. 35(2) in the previous year on the ground that the statute prevents the assessee from claiming the benefit of depreciation in respect of assets for which relief granted under s. 35(2) only for the same year had there is no prohibition from claiming the relief of depreciation in the other years. Subsequent to the decision of the Tribunal, s. 35(2)(iv) had been enacted by the Finance (No. 2) Act of 1980 with retrospective effect from April 1, 1962. Clause (iv) of sub-s. (2) of s. 35 which has been brought into force states that where a deduction is allowed for any previous year under the said s. 35 in respect of expenditure represented wholly or partly by an the asset, no deduction shall be allowed under s. 32 for the same or other previous years in respect of the asset. In view of this amendment, the reasoning of the Tribunal that there is not bar on the assessee claiming relief under s. 32 in respect of an asset for which deduction has been allowed in any previous year cannot hold good and since the amendment has been brought into force from April 1, 1962, the same is applicable to the assessment year in this case. In view of the said amendment, we answer the question referred to us in the negative and in favour of the Revenue. There will be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The learned counsel for the assessee, however, makes an order application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the judgment just now pronounced on the ground that the Finance (No. 2) Act of 1980, in so far as it amended s. 35 of the I.T. Act, 1961, has been challenged before the Supreme Court and the matter is pending consideration. In view of the said circumstance, we are inclined to grant leave. The assessee is, therefore, granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against our judgment in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court Commissioner Of Income-Tax, &#8230; vs Lucas-Tvs Limited on 1 August, 1983 Equivalent citations: 1984 149 ITR 771 Mad Author: Ramanujam Bench: G Ramanujam, V Ratnam JUDGMENT Ramanujam, J. 1.
