Assessee filed a petition to recall said Order stating that all grounds were urged but by mistake Tribunal noted that no other ground was raised. Said petition was allowed against which instant appeal was filed. Held: It was seen that appeal was admitted on 19-6-2018. When matter was called, Counsel for assessee and revenue produced order copy dt. 26-7-2019 passed by Tribunal in original appeal by which appeal itself was disposed of holding that claim of deduction under section 10A for relevant assessment year was already remitted back. Since order of Tribunal was acted upon, keeping open questions of law, order of Tribunal was confirmed.
