IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY
ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION
INCOME TAX APPEAL NO.333 of 2005
The Commissioner of Income Tax ..Appellant
Vs.
Rama Newsprint & Papers Ltd ..Respondent
Mr. B.M. Chatterji with Mr. Suresh Kumar i/b.
Anamica Malhotra, for the Appellant.
CORAM: F.I.

P.C.:
. Revenue has preferred this appeal on the
following question:-
"(a) Whether on the facts and in the
circumstances of the case and in law the
Tribunal was justified in holding that the
business was set up on 18-03-1996 when trial
run started and not on 08-08-1996, when
assessee started commercial production, as
held by A.O.?
From the question framed itself it is clear that the
trial production commenced on 18th March, 1996. In
similar issue in Income Tax Appeal No.586 of 2001 in
respect of the very same assessee we have not
entertained the appeal on the ground that the same
is purely a finding of fact. In the light of the
said order there is no merit in this Appeal which is
accordingly dismissed.
