INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 254

If the facts were on record, then the Appellate Tribunal was duty bound to look into the same and decide the matter accordingly. Remitting the matter without any justifiable reason was nothing, but sheer waste of time. In such circumstances, the impugned order passed by the Appellate Tribunal was quashed and set aside and the order passed by the CIT(A) to the extent of eligible deduction under section 80-IB(10) was concerned, was affirmed.
