There is a delay of 5 days in filing the present appeal. For the reasons stated in the petition for condonation of delay, the delayof 5 days infiling the appeal is condoned.
In the above appeal, Revenue challenged the order of the ld. CIT(A) dated 13.02.2025 wherein the ld. CIT(A) by relying on the judgment of the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in the case of PCIT vs. Ojjus Medicare Pvt. Ltd. (2024) 465 ITR 101 (Del.), allowed the appeal of the assessee. Aggrieved by the order of the ld. CIT(A), Revenue preferred the captioned allowing the appeal.
It is found that the ld. CIT(A) while setting aside the assessment order observed that the year under consideration is not covered within the six assessment years as per section 153C of the Act and by following the ratio laid down by the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in the case of Ojjus Medicare Pvt.

Considering the above facts and circumstances, since there is no contrary judgment or differentiable facts brought on record by the department, we find no merits in the grounds of appeal of the Revenue. Accordingly, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed as devoid of merits.
