In the case of Morvi Industries Ltd., the hon'ble Supreme Court was considering the case of an assessee where the assessee-company being managing agent of its subsidiary company, maintained its accounts on the mercantile system and relinquished certain amounts representing fixed monthly sum allowances and commission on sale payable to the managed company, in view of heavy financial losses suffered by the managed company and the hon'ble Supreme Court held that the amounts of commission were relinquished after they had become "due" but before they were payable in terms of the managing agencies agreement and since the amounts of income for the years in question were given up unilaterally by the assessee after they had accrued to it, the assessee company could not escape the liability of tax liability for those amounts and since there was nothing to show that the amounts were relinquished on the basis of commercial expediency or for advancing the assessee's business interest, it was held that the assessee was not entitled to claim deduction of the said amount as business expenditure under section 10(2)(xv) of the 1922 Act. 5.

But appeals were filed against the said judg ment by the consumers in this court and the same were dismissed by the judgment of this court dated February 26, 1969.

We have, however, perused the judgment of the Joint Judge (Junior Division), Godhra dated June 20, 1974 in the said suit which was annexed as Annexure 'D' to the statement of the case. The said judgment does not show that the suit was confined to the period subsequent to March 31, 1969. On the other hand, it shows that the plaintiffs in that suit were challenging the enhancement in charges made in 1963 had sought a declaration that the assessee-company was not entitled to recover more than 31 paise per unit for lights and fans and 20 paise per unit for motive power and the trial court, while decreeing the said suit had given a declaration in these terms. The said declaration is not confined to the period subsequent to March 31, 1969. The question whether there was real accrual of income to the assessee-company in respect of the enhanced charges for supply of electricity has to be considered by taking the probability or improb ability of realisation in a realistic manner. If the matter is considered in this light, it is not possible to hold that there was real accrual of income to the assessee-company in respect of the enhanced charges for supply of elec .....
