Brought forward unabsorbed depreciation cant be set off against Income from HP & other sources

IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL

The Relevant Text of the Order as follows: As is discernible from a perusal of the aforesaid statutory provision i.e Sec. 32(2), it can safely be concluded that as the same in substance had remained the same as in context to that applicable to the case of the assessee before us, therefore, the aforesaid view arrived at by the Hon'ble Apex Court seizes the issue under consideration.

We thus not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A), who had rightly vacated the incorrect view taken by the A.O, therefore, uphold his order.
