In first case,you will get dep. on Rs.50 and profit on sale of asset is not liable to be taxed. In second case, there is a short term capital gain u/s50 of Rs. 20000/=.

IN the given Querry the WDV of a Block of Asset is Rs. 100 and the same is sold for Rs. 50, hence the block would be empty and no depreiation would be allowed . There would be a Capital loss of Rs. 50
In the second case , also the block would be empty also the sale price exceeds the Opending WDV and no depreciation would be allowed. The capital Gain arises worth Rs. 20 liable to CG tax.

If u have sold a part of Block of assets, then whatever may be your cost,for the purpose of Dep. as per IT. the sales value is to be deducted and u will get the depreciation on the Balance.
Concept of Balance charge is applicable in case of the undertaking engaged in the business of generation or generation and distribution of power.
Where the assessee opts for charging depreciation on the basis of WDV, then the sale price shall be deducted from the total value of Block of Assets as usual.
In case, the assessee follos the SLM: If the Building , Machinery etc. is sold, discarded i the Previous year(other than the first yer of putting in to use), then the amt realised that falls short of WDV , then it shall be charged as terminal depreciation.
On the otherhand, if the sale price is higher over the WDV then, the excess of sale price over the WV to the extent of the Difference between the actual cost and WDV shall be chargeable to Income Tax as balancing charge u/s 41(2).
Where the sale price of the asset sold exceeds the cost of acquisition of such asset, such excess shall be treated as apital gain.. The capital gain may be LTCG or STCG.
