Issues:
1. Classification of expenditure as revenue or capital nature 2. Allowability of deductions for contingent liabilities and repairs 3. Reduction of disallowance under entertainment expenses 4. Weighted deduction allowance for specific expenditure 5. Classification of shifting expenditure as revenue or capital nature Analysis: 1. The Commissioner of Income-tax sought clarification on the classification of certain expenditures as revenue or capital in nature. The Tribunal's decisions on various expenses were questioned, including a sum treated as capital expenditure but claimed to be revenue in nature. The court directed the Tribunal to refer specific questions regarding the correctness of these classifications. 2. The Tribunal's decision on the allowance of a contingent liability for leave salary and repairs of a Shiv Temple was also under scrutiny. While the court declined a reference for the leave salary issue based on a previous decision, it directed a reference for the repairs expenditure, emphasizing the need to determine if it was incidental to the assessee's business. 3. A dispute arose over the reduction of disallowance under entertainment expenses from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 7,000. The court directed a reference on this issue to assess the correctness of the Tribunal's decision in light of established legal principles. 4. The Tribunal's decision to allow a weighted deduction on a specific sum was challenged, arguing that it was an expenditure of capital nature. The court directed a reference to clarify the correctness of this decision and the nature of the expenditure in question. 5. Lastly, the classification of the entire expenditure incurred in shifting as either revenue or capital in nature was contested. The court directed a reference to determine the appropriate classification of this expenditure based on the Tribunal's findings and legal principles. In conclusion, the court disposed of the petition, directing the Tribunal to refer specific questions of law for further clarification. No costs were awarded in this matter.
