The High Court ultimately sided with the taxpayer, holding that the transactions were within the framework of the law and not a sham, dismissing the revenue’s appeal.

Windmills, Depreciation, and Passive Use: Court Upholds Assessee’s Claim

This case is about whether a company can claim depreciation on windmills for tax purposes, even if those windmills generated little or no electricity during the year.
