Analysis:

1. The judgment addresses departmental appeals concerning assessment and rectification proceedings for the same assessment year. The first issue involves lodging charges, presentation articles, and travelling expenses. The CIT(A) allowed lodging charges but disallowed boarding charges as entertainment expenses. The judgment upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that certain expenses for dealers cannot be classified as entertainment expenses.

2. The second issue pertains to disputed expenses on dealers, including travelling, lodging, boarding, and gifts. The CIT(A) allowed these expenses, emphasizing that certain expenses for foreign dealers were within stipulated limits and not entertainment expenses. The judgment confirmed the CIT(A)'s decision on this matter.

3. The third issue concerns the disallowance of cost of motors as repairs. The CIT(A) considered the replacement of motors as repairs, except for new motors installed with new machinery. The judgment supported the CIT(A)'s decision, distinguishing between replacement and initial installation of motors.

4. The fourth issue involves disputed advertisement expenses. The CIT(A) allowed certain advertisement costs while disallowing others under relevant provisions. The judgment upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the disallowed expenses were not related to advertisement purposes.

5. The fifth issue addresses the initial depreciation claim for staff quarters. The CIT(A) allowed the claim, noting that the details were furnished in the return. The judgment supported the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the claim was admissible under the applicable provision.

6. The sixth issue concerns the multiple shift allowance on a generator. The CIT(A) allowed the claim, stating that the generator's operation for multiple shifts did not require specific proof. The judgment upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, emphasizing the practicality of generator usage in a factory setting.

7. The seventh issue involves the allowance of depreciation on the Rim Plant. The CIT(A) considered the machine to be automatic and allowed depreciation accordingly. The judgment supported the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the machine's automatic nature justified the depreciation allowance.

8. The final issue pertains to weighted deduction in rectification proceedings for specific expenses. The CIT(A) allowed the assessee's claim based on past decisions and conformity with relevant provisions. The judgment upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, dismissing the appeal on this matter.

In conclusion, one appeal was partly allowed, while the other was dismissed based on the analysis and findings of the CIT(A) in each respective case.
