Amisha S Gupt & Sri Y.V.S.T. Sai, CIT-DR Date of hearing: 26/09/2019 Date of pronouncement: 04/10/2019 ORDER PER A. MOHAN ALANKAMONY, AM.:
This appeal is filed by the Revenue aggrieved by the order of the Ld. CIT (A)-4, dated 26/06/2018 in appeal No. 0174/DCIT, Circle- 16(2)/17-18/CIT(A)-4/Hyd/18-19 passed U/s. 143(3) r.w.s 92CA and U/s. 250(6) of the Act for the AY 2014-15.
The Revenue has raised three grounds in its appeal however, the crux of the issue is that the Ld. CIT (A) has erred in deleting the
2 disallowance of depreciation towards technical know-how (intangible asset) for Rs. 3,07,54,012/-.
At the outset, the Ld. AR submitted before us that the Ld. CIT (A) had granted relief to the assessee based on the order of the Tribunal on the same issue for the AY 2009-10 vide order dated 25/3/2015. It was further submitted that the Tribunal following its earlier order had granted relief to the assessee for the AY 2012-13 and 2013-14 vide order dated 16/3/2018 in ITA No. 1666/Hyd/2017 and vide order dated 24/10/2018 in ITA No. 814/Hyd/2018 respectively. It was therefore pleaded that for the relevant Assessment Year also the same ratio is applicable and hence the appeal of the revenue may be dismissed. The Ld DR could not confront to the submission of the Ld. AR.
We have heard the rival submissions and carefully perused the materials on record and we find merit in the arguments advanced by the Ld. AR. As stated by the Ld. AR the Tribunal had consistently held the issue in favour of the assessee which the ld. CIT (A) has followed. Therefore, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the Ld. CIT (A) and accordingly the same is upheld.
In the result, appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.
