"1. Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was correct in law in holding that the assessed-company was entitled to depreciation under Section 32(1) in respect of the building which was used for the purpose of its business and which it had acquired on dissolution of the erstwhile partnership of which the assessed was a partner though the building is not registered in the assesseds name "
2. The dispute relates to the assessment year 1975-76.
3. The essence of the dispute is evident from the question itself. We need not go into the factual aspects in detail in view of the fact that the issue involved has been squarely dealt with by the apex court in Mysore Minerals Ltd. v. CIT : [1999]239ITR775(SC) . We accordingly answer the question in the affirmative, in favor of the assessed and against the Revenue.
