Strictures by ITAT against ICAI deprecated: It is very unfortunate that the Tribunal, out of sheer desperation and frustration and agitated by the fact that the Revenue is not opposing the request for condonation of delay blamed the assessee's Chartered Accountant and the ICAI on how they should conduct themselves. The Tribunal completely misdirected itself by taking irrelevant factors into account. Delay of 2984 days in filing the appeal caused by wrong advice of a professional is capable of condonation. However, even if the assessee has acted bona fide, he can be held liable for payment of costs to balance rights and equities

HC - If the disallowance was on the dispute of the machinery not having been installed during the year under consideration, such depreciation would always be available to the assessee in the later years. Since there was consistent loss offered by the assessee, this shifting of the depreciation to a later year would have no impact on its tax.
