The brief facts of the case are that the Assessee was awarded the contract for broadening of Zirakpur-Parwanoo Section of National Highway-22 including pinjore-Kalka Parwanoo Bypass on Build- Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis. He filed a return claiming that he had spent a sum of Rs. 723.00 crores odd on the construction and claiming depreciation of Rs. 72.00 crores odd under Section 32 of the Act. The Assessing Officer held that since the road was not 'owned by the Assessee' he could not claim depreciation.
