The decision of the Tribunal with respect to question No.1 is in conformity with the decision of Supreme Court in case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Woodward Government India P. Ltd reported in (2009) 312 ITR 85 (SC). Sofar as question 2 is concerned, the Tribunal has correctly followed the decision of this Court in case of Nirma Industries Ltd vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax reported in (2006) 284 ITR 401 Guj. So far as question No. 3 is concerned, the Tribunal referred to the judgement of Supreme Court in case of Goetz (India) Ltd. vs. CIT reported in (2006) 284 ITR 323 (SC) to entertain additional contention. Reference in this respect can be made by this Court in the decision in case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Mitesh Implex reported in (2006) 367 ITR 85 (Guj).

5. These three questions are therefore not entertained.
