The Commissioner Of Income-Tax, ... vs Shantilal Punjabhai on 1 October, 1964
10. Adverting to Pioneer Trading Co. P. Ltd.'s case [1968] 70 ITR 347 (Cal), which decision was approved by the Supreme Court in CIT v. Shantilal P. Ltd. [1983] 144 ITR 57, we find that there was a real dispute between the contracting parties which was settled and, therefore, it was held that it was not a speculative transaction. On the facts of the present case, the aforesaid case does not help the assessee and the Tribunal erred in applying it to decide the matter in favour of the assessee. Similar is the position of the other two cases referred to by the Tribunal. The facts of those cases are also entirely different and it was shown that there was a real dispute between the parties which was settled.
