It is well established in law that no one can act in judicial capacity if his conduct gives ground for believing that he cannot act with an open mind or impartially. In the present case, we have a reasonable apprehension that the A.O. who has passed the impugned order does not have open mind and, therefore, cannot pass order impartially.
The depreciation u/s 32 is allowed on the actual cost of the assets. The term ‘actual cost’ has been defined in section 43(1) according to which, ‘actual cost’ means ‘the actual cost of the assets to the assessee reduced by that portion of the cost thereof, if any, as has been met directly or indirectly by any other person or authority’. So, the only deduction permissible from the actual cost is the amount, which has been met by any other person or authority.
Whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was right in law in coming to the conclusion that when on the ground on which the reopening of assessment is based, no additions are made by the Assessing Officer in the order of assessment, he cannot make additions on some other grounds which did not form part of the reasons recorded by him.

As regards the payment made by Gemini International Tours and Travels is concerned, we find that the agent receives the clients and leave them in the resorts or hotels for which he is paid commission. The nature of the activity of the agent at Maldives is only to facilitate the movements of the tourists of the assessee within the country of Maldives and to see that no inconvenience is caused to them. He is not entitled to take any decision as regards the destination of the tourists or with regard to their stay and accommodation. Therefore, services rendered by him also cannot be said to be technical services u/s 9(1)(vii) of the Income-tax Act. If the said services cannot be termed as technical services, then the payment made to the agent can only be considered as his business income which can be taxed in India only if he has a PE in India. As there is no PE in India for Mr. Hussain Shiham, respectfully following the decision of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the EON Technology (P.) Ltd. (cited Supra), this ground of appeal is also allowed.
In the present case, we find that the assessee uses various materials like flour, ghee, oil etc. for the production of various items. The production is done by following a particular set process.
