Petition under Section 151 of CPC praying that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed herein, the High Court may be pleased to suspend the operation of the order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Visakhapatnam Bench, Visakhapatnam, in its I.T.A.No. 477/Vizag/2008, dated. 09-04-20 12, pending ITTA.No. 384/2012 preferred to the High Court against the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Visakhapatnam Bench, Visakhapatnam in ITA.No. 77/Vizag/2008 dated. 09- 04-2012 for the Assessment Year 2005-2006.
Section 14A would have no application to the present facts. It is not the revenue’s case that bad debts have been incurred in relation to income which does not form part of the total income.

The Assessing Officer after considering the material on record in fact made an addition of Rs. 29,77,726/- as undisclosed income of the petitioner.
There is no dispute that after the partnership was reconstitued, the reconstituted firm had started a new business with an amendment to the partnership deed enabling the firm to carry on the manufacture and export of handicrafts items.
