Vesta Investment And Trading Co. (P) ... vs Assistant Commissioner Of Income Tax on 30 August, 2006
Further, the judgment in the case of Vesta Investment and Trading
Co. Pvt. Ltd. vs. CIT 70 ITD 200 (Chd.) also support the case of the
assessee wherein it has been held that although res judicata is not
12
applicable to income tax proceeding however, for the sake of
consistency, the earlier view taken should not be disturbed unless
there is a change in facts. In the present case, the assessee all along
has been making investment and accounting for the same as
investments. This stand has been accepted in the past and there is
no reason to differ with the same in the current year. The accounting
treatment given in the current year being the same as in the earlier
years, the AO was not justified in altering the same.
