Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether legal expenses incurred to defend a factory site's ownership are capital or revenue expenditure. While one perspective argues it's revenue expenditure as it maintains ownership of existing assets, another suggests it could be capital if related to acquiring ownership. The differing views highlight the nuances in accounting for such costs.

In my opinion  its  " Revenue  Expenditure  "  ,  please confirm with others also . 

i referred to two different books and one claims it's a capital expenditure while other claims it's revenue expenditure. why's that so

Revenue expenditure as it is incurred to maintain the ownership of capital assets. If same would incurred to acquire the ownership of capital assets in that case it would be capital expenditure.
