Therefore, the question of remitting the matter to the Tribunal does not arise. In our view the controversy involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Apollo Tyres (2002 (5) TMI 5 - SUPREME Court) that there cannot be two incomes, one for the purpose of the Companies Act and another for the purpose of income-tax.
