Goetze (India) Ltd. vs Cit on 24 March, 2006
This is what Supreme Court
observed in the said judgment while distinguishing the
judgment in the case of National Thermal Power Co.
Ltd. vs. Commissioner of Income-tax (supra) and that
is how various High Courts have viewed the dictum of
the decision in the case of Goetze (India) Ltd. vs.
Commissioner of Income-tax (supra). When it comes to
the power of Appellate Commissioner or the Tribunal,
the Courts have recognized their jurisdiction to
entertain a new ground or a legal contention. A ground
would have a reference to an argument touching a
question of fact or a question of law or mixed
question of law or facts. A legal contention would
ordinarily be a pure question of law without raising
any dispute about the facts. Not only such additional
ground or contention, the Courts have also, as noted
above, recognized the powers of the Appellate
Commissioner and the Tribunal to entertain a new claim

assessing officer. Income Tax proceedings are not
strictly speaking adversarial in nature and the

Commissioner Of Income Tax vs M/S. Pruthvi Brokers & Shareholders on 21 June, 2012
41. In the decisions that we have noted above, the
Courts have considered such questions when a legal
contention or a claim was based on material already on
record but raised at an appellate stage. On such
premise we wholeheartedly agree that the appellate
authority and the Tribunal would have the power to
entertain any such new ground, legal contention or
claim. However, it is only the Bombay High Court in
the case of Commissioner of Income-tax vs. Pruthvi
Brokers and Shareholders P.Ltd.(supra), which has
traveled a little beyond this preposition and come to
the conclusion that even if facts necessary to examine
such a claim are not placed before the assessing
officer and, therefore, not on record, there would be
no impediment in the Commissioner (Appeals)
entertaining such a claim. Such an issue does not
arise in these appeals. We would, therefore, reserve
our opinion on this limited aspect of the matter if
and when in future the question presents before us in
such form. For the present, we answer Questions (3)
and (4) against the Revenue and in favour of the
