Issues:
- High Court's judgment on Income Tax Appeals and Reference - Examination of appellant's case by the High Court - Setting aside of the High Court's judgment - Restoration of the appeals to the High Court Analysis: The Supreme Court addressed the High Court's judgment concerning four matters, including Income Tax Appeals and a Reference, with specific focus on M/s J.R. Solvent Industries (P) Ltd. The Court noted that the High Court's discussion primarily centered on the reference related to M/s J.R. Solvent Industries (P) Ltd., neglecting the appellant's (assessee) case in Income Tax Appeal No. 598 of 2006 and Income Tax Appeal No. 420 of 2010. The appellant argued that their case differed significantly from that of M/s J.R. Solvent Industries (P) Ltd., and the High Court had erroneously disregarded the findings of the lower tribunals in the Revenue's appeal. The Supreme Court acknowledged the merit in the appellant's submissions, concluding that the High Court had not examined the appellant's case. Consequently, the Court decided to set aside the High Court's judgment dated April 16, 2012, specifically in relation to Income Tax Appeal No. 598 of 2006 and Income Tax Appeal No. 420 of 2010, requiring reconsideration by the High Court. The appeals were allowed in part, and the High Court was directed to proceed afresh with the two appeals in accordance with the law, without imposing any costs.
