K.V. Mills vs Commissioner Of Central Excise, ... on 9 November, 2001
5. After hearing both sides, we are of the considered opinion that this matter requires fresh appreciation of facts in the light of the judgment rendered by the co-ordinate bench in the case of Terna Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. v. CCE, Aurangabad (supra) delivered by the Mumbai bench, in which it has been held that if the revised returns excluding that part of value filed and accepted by Income Tax Department, then mere filing of return claiming depreciation on total value is not sufficient to disallow credit, particularly in view of workings of Rule 57R (5) and the amendment to Section 43(1) of the Income Tax Act made in 1988 w.e.f. 1.4.94 unless depreciation is allowed by Income Tax Department, credit is not to be denied though claimed in the return by the assessee. We, therefore direct the Commissioner (Appeals) to re-consider the provisions of Income Tax Act and accounting practice followed by the appellants after giving an opportunity to the appellants to produce all the documents and evidence which they want to produce in their defence. The appeal is allowed by way of remand by setting aside the order of the Commissioner (Appeals). Ordered accordingly.
