¶1All these appeals involved comma question of law. For the sake of convenience, we can reproduce the q estions of law framed in one of these appeals:-

¶2"(a) Whether on a interpretation of the relevant statutory provisions,! Tribunal was justified n law in directing the Assersing Officer to allow deduction under section 80H C of the Act in respect of "profit" on sale of DEPB?

(b)Whether on the facts of thle present case, Tribunal was justified in law in im liedly holding that the assessee would be entitled o deduction as per the first proviso below sub-Section 3 of Section 80HHC in respect of DEPB Credit utilize by the assessee?" The orders passed by the Tribun I in all these cases are brief because of the reason that the Tribuna has simply followed (which it was supposed to) the decision of the ITA Special Bench, Mumbai in the case of Topman Export Vs. ITO [ITA N . 5769/Mum./2006 decided on dated 11th August, 2009.]. By that judg ent, the Special Bench of the ITA No. ITA 12/2011 & ors.connected matters ·---------···----·-·-·--·------·--·-·-· - -·-·· ......... . ..... -- • Tribunal has held that the face value of D - 12-- PB is chargeable to tax u/s 2

(iiib) at the time of accrual of income, th t is, when the application for DEPB is filed with the competent auth rity pursuant to exports and profit in sale of DEPB representing the ex ess of sale proceeds of DEPB over its face value is liable to be consider d u/s 28(iiid) at the time of its sale.

¶3The Revenue had filed the appeal i the High Court Adjudicate. at Bombay against the aforesaid decision of the Special Bench of the IT AT. The Bombay High Court has reversed th decision of the Tribunal and the judgment of the Bombay High Court is reported as Commffssioner of Income Tax Vs. Kalpataru Colours and C/hiemffcalsp 328 ITR 451.

¶4Since the Tribunal had simply followed Special decision in Topman Exports (supra) which stands over ruled, we set aside the ·, order passed by the Tribunal in all these cases and remit the cases back :to the Tribunal to decide these appeal on merits after taking into account factual position in all these cases. 5 . These appeals stand disposed of on bove terms. FEBRUARY 18, 2011, skb ITA No. ITA 12/2011 & ors.connected matters 1'&13" jUDGE {M.LMEHTA) JUDGIE
