In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that reference on the proposed question has to be called. With regard to questions Nos. 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9, it is not disputed by Mr. Gupta, learned counsel for the Revenue, that in the case of the assessee itself reference of similar questions in respect of earlier assessment years has been declined by the Allahabad High Court in CIT v. Modipon Ltd. (No. 1) [1991] 189 ITR 344 and CIT v. Modipon Ltd. (No. 2) [1991] 189 ITR 478. Having regard to these decisions, in our opinion, the proposed questions are not sta .....

Although it is not denied by learned counsel for the Revenue that in respect of the assessment year 1976-77 reference of a similar question has been declined by the Allahabad High Court in the case of the assessee itself (CIT v. Modipon Ltd. (No. 2) [1991] 189 ITR 478 ), what is sought to be contended is that in view of certain observations in a recent decision of the Supreme Court in CIT v. Amritsar Transport Co. P. Ltd.

Having regard to the decision of the Supreme Court in Bijli Cotton Mills' case [1979] 116 ITR 60 and the Allahabad High Court in the case of the assessee itself, we decline to call for a reference on the proposed question. With regard to question No. 6 it has been pointed out by learned counsel for the assessee that for the assessment years 1975-76 and 1976-77 no reference was sought by the Revenue of a similar question. Besides, it is also stated at the Bar that for the assessment year 1979-80, the Assessing Officer has himself allowed similar expenditure. In that view of the matter, the proposed question is not fit for reference. Consequently, we direct the Tribunal to refer question No. 1 along with an appropriate statement of case fo .....
