The Ghatal Peoples’Co-Op. Bank Ltd. Vs. DCIT,Cir-2, Mid. Page 2 Suffice to say, there is hardly any dispute that hon'ble jurisdictional high court’s decision in Exide Industries Ltd. vs. Union of India (2007) 292 ITR 470 (Cal) had quashed the statutory provision itself being ultra vires and its operation stood stayed in hon'ble apex court’s order dated 08.05.2009 in SLP No.CC 12060/2008 We therefore restore the instant issue back to the Assessing Officer to be decided in tune with the hon'ble apex court’s final decision in the said lis. The assessee’s sole substantive ground is accepted for statistical purposes.
