Ircon International Limited, New Delhi vs Acit, New Delhi on 31 October, 2019
This proposition is unassailable. One cannot take resort to a
principle or rule of accountancy when the Act provides
specifically for the situation at hand. But when the situation is
one where there is no definitive provision, a Court can take
resort to well accepted accountancy rules and principles. The
Supreme Court in Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals (supra) has not
derogated from this principle enunciated in Challapalli Sugar
Mills Ltd. (supra).
