 Can anyone tell me any case law on the following issue:-

 

Mr. A joins XYZ ltd. in april 2009 under a bond of three years. Mr. A leaves the company after 2 years i.e. in F.Y. 2011-2012 due to which Rs. 25000 was deducted from the full and final payment to Mr. A by XYZ ltd. as penalty.

Mr. A joins ABC ltd in F.Y. 2011-2012

Total income of Mr. A in F.Y. 2011-2012 is as follows

 

Form 16 received from XYZ ltd.   Rs. 200000

Form 16 received from ABC ltd.  Rs. 150000

Less penalty paid                                   25000

 

On how much amount Mr. A is liable to tax i.e. on Rs. 350000 or Rs. 325000

 

If on Rs. 325000 then is there any case law which justifies it.
