This case addressed the scope of judicial interference under the Arbitration Act regarding the interest awarded in a commercial dispute. The Court found no perversity in the Arbitrator’s decision to award the contractual 24% rate, rejecting the borrower’s claims under the outdated Usurious Loans Act, 1918. The ruling emphasizes that the Arbitration Act framework overrides State usury laws for NBFC lending and bars courts from reopening contractual rates.

ITAT Delhi directed the AO to compute Annual Letting Value (ALV) only for the portion of the house property actually rented out (third/fourth floors). Taxing the entire property based on assumptions, ignoring the owner’s self-occupation, was held to be unjustified.
Where the property was not actually let out, and was treated as self-occupied property, in case of vacant property, the annual value under section 23(1)(a) must be determined on the basis of the Municipal Rateable Value and not market rent.

CESTAT Ahmedabad held that in case of bulk liquid cargo imports measurement in tanks on shore into which such cargo is pumped from the tanker is to be considered as basis for levy of customs duty.

Chhattisgarh High Court held that addition towards unaccounted sales based on estimated production yield is baseless and without any evidence/ material and accordingly is not sustainable in law. Accordingly, appeal of revenue dismissed.
Bombay High Court held that if municipal rateable value doesn’t depict correct annual value, AO can make independent enquiry under section 23(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act and determine the sum which the property is reasonably expected to fetch for purpose of determining annual value u/s. 22.
