A perusal of the assessment order clearly shows that the Assessing Officer questioned the assessee why there is a difference in the rate of discount. Assessee replied to the questions raised by the Assessing Officer. However, the Assessing Officer has proceeded to compute the discount by hypothetical calculation to arrive at discount rate for the whole year and then asessee applied on monthly sale basis. This obviously is not permissible in so far as the discount granted by the assessee is not a constant every month. The average rate of discount would be a highly impractical method. In the circumstances, the addition in respect of discount as made by the Assessing Officer and confirmed by the learned Commissioner of Income-tax(Appeals) stands deleted.
A perusal of the order of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) clearly shows that the assessee had written off bad debt in the books. Further, it is noticed that the Learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) had followed the decision of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Director of Income-tax (International Taxation) Vs. Oman International Bank (refer to supra) on this issue. The finding of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) that the bad debt written off in the books has not been disputed by the revenue. In the circumstances, the finding of the learned Commissioner of Incometax (Appeals) on this issue is on right footing and does not call for any interference.

Organisational response to the environment and the role of the acco- unting profession for the environ- mental protection are fairly recent developments. Environmental issues are business issues and have consid- erable implications for ‘audit’ in all its semblance leading to a separate spe- cialised area viz., ‘environmental auditing’.
This also appears to be a case where the petitioner has not come to the Court with clean hands; submission of the respondent that the petitioner has learnt about the one time settlement arrived at by the respondent with the Bank; and it was only then that he approached the CLB this is clear from the fact that he had filed the contempt application before the CLB on 01.03.2007 but he did not choose to mention it before the Board till more than two months later;
In order to assess individuals to be forming association of persons, the individual co-owners should have joined their resources and thereafter acquired property in the name of association of persons and the property should have been commonly managed, only then it could be assessed in the hands of associations of persons. Conversely, the mere accruing of income jointly to more persons than one would not constitute thereon an association of persons in respect of such income.
