Chevoit Company Ltd. v. CIT – In Kulwant Kaur’s case, it was held by the Supreme Court that in appeal before the Calcutta High Court a finding of fact, even if erroneous, will generally not be disturbed. However, where it is found that the finding stands vitiated on an inaccurate test and on the basis of assumptions and conjectures and, as a result, there is an element of perversity involved therein, the Calcutta High Court will be within its jurisdiction to deal with the same. This was in regard to section 103 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Chevoit Company’s decision relies on the decision of the Supreme Court in Kulwant Kaur’s case, and reaffirms the position that an issue of perversity of findings could by itself come within the ambit of a substantial question of law.

This instruction follows from the directions provided by the Supreme Court in its ruling in the case of CIT v.Bharati Cellular Ltd. [2010-TI1-05-SC-INTL] wherein the Supreme Court emphasised on the need to rely upon the opinion from technical experts in cases involving complex technical matters so that Appellate forums are able to “decide the legal issues based on the factual foundation” of a case. The CBDT Instruction seeks to set out a broad framework on how technical experts can be consulted to provide their opinion on technical matters involved in a tax or transfer pricing case.
