Ashima Dyecot Ltd. Vs. DCIT (ITAT Ahmedabad)- We have carefully gone through the orders of authorities below and perused the material available on record. It is pertinent to note that in para 3.1 of the impugned order, the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) noted the aforesaid plea of the assessee but has not adjudicated the same.
