Allowing the appeal of the revenue the Court held that ;the actual business of printing and publishing commenced at the Palakkad unit only in April, 1992 and therefore the plant and machinery was not put to use during the assessment year under consideration. The Tribunal was therefore, not justified in allowing the depreciation on that account to the assessee. ( AY.1992-93)
