On this issue addition was made by the AO bringing to tax sales tax incentive receipt, which was claimed by the assessee as capital receipt not liable to tax. CIT(A) had allowed the appeal on this issue by referring to several case laws from ITAT in assessee's own case from assessment years 2007-08 to 2012-13. Held: The ITAT in assessee's own case in a number of orders for preceding years had decided the issue in favour of the assessee and the same order had not been reversed by Jurisdictional High Court. Accordingly, following the doctrine of stare decisis the order of CIT(A) was upheld.
