Company X had disallowed certain expenses in A.Y. 2009-10. During A.Y. 2010-2011, the business of company X was taken over by Company Y on slump sale basis. Whether Company Y can claim deduction of expenses earlier disallowed for Company X, on payment basis? Are there any related case laws?

When a company is takenover it is taken over along with its losses and so on similar logic the disallowances u/s 43B takien over should be allowable on payment basis though i dont know any case laws currently but if i get some i will update it here.
