@JUDGMENTTAG-ORDER
1. On a perusal of the impugned order dated 18-10-2004 of the income tax Appellate Tribunal (''Tribunal''), we find that on the question whether
the plant and machinery was delivered by the assessee to the lessee on 31-3-1996, the Tribunal has concluded that there is a deemed delivery to
the lessee on 31-3-1996, which in their view was sufficient to claim depreciation u/s 32 of the income tax Act, 1961 (''Act''). The contention of the
assessee is that the plant and machinery was actually erected and commissioned at the lessee''s site on IT Appeal No. 516 of 2005 31-3-1996.
Our attention has been drawn to the documents filed by the assessee during assessment proceedings including certificates issued by M/s. Prakash
Industries Ltd., the lessee, that the plant and machinery had been installed and commissioned on 31-3-1996. However, the Tribunal has neither
adverted to these documents nor returned a finding whether the plant and machinery in question could, in the circumstances be said to have been
used"" in the relevant previous year. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is remanded to the Tribunal for a fresh
determination. The appeal stands disposed of accordingly.
