From the side of the applicant, ld.AR Mr.M.K.Patel appeared and his first plank of argument is that no such disallowance of interest wasRs. never made in earlier years in respect of the opening investment of Rs.282.42 lacs. According to him, since the respected Tribunal had made a proportionate disallowance of interest on the amount of the opening investment, therefore by making a proportionate disallowance a mistake has been committed. His second plank of argument is that on one hand, the Tribunal has stated that there were sufficient interest-free fund to cover up the investment of the current year, therefore, by making a proportionate disallowanc .....

On being asked by the Bench the Learned Authorised Representative of the assessee pointed out from the balance sheet of the assessee-firm for the assessment year under appeal placed at page Nos.72 to 89 of the Paper book that the total partners capital constitute of Rs.7,57,06,838/- was having two components i.e. fixed capital of Rs..5 crore and current capital of Rs.2,57,06,838/-.

The disallowance of interest was warranted in respect of balance brought forward investment of Rs.1,27,89,831/- and therefore, disallowance of interest at the rate 12% thereon which works out to Rs.15,34,780/- was justified. We therefore, modify the orders of the lower authorities and restore the disallowance of interest expenditure to the extent of Rs.15,34,780/- and delete the remaining disallowance of interest of Rs.11,38,565/-. Thus, the ground of appeal of the assessee is partly allowed." 4. Having heard the submissions of both the sides, we are of the conscientious view that no mistake much less to say an .....

Since the Tribunal has taken a view which is possible as also plausible in the eyes of law and that view is inconformity with the existing figures of the year under consideration, therefore, apparently there was no error committed by the Tribunal. Under these circumstances, it is wrong to say that a mistake was committed by the Tribunal which was an apparent on the fact of record. We are not in agreement with the argument and the allegation as alleged in this petition, hence, this part and the argument is hereby dismissed. 4.1 The ld.AR has argued that in the immediately preceding assessment year, there was no disallowance of interest in respect of closing balance of Rs.2,57,06,837/-, therefore, a consistent view is required to b .....

Considering all these decisions, we are of the view that merely non-mentioning of few of the judgements alleged to have been referred to ld.AR did not constitute an apparent error to be rectified u/s.254(2) of the I.T.Act. 4.3. Rather, we have duly examined the facts of those decisions whichRs. were alleged to have been cited ld.AR, viz.
