THIS APPEAL COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY, JAYANT PATEL J., DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
The appellant-Revenue has preferred this appeal by raising the following substantial questions of law: “1. Whether the Tribunal is justified in directing the assessing officer to recomputed the deduction under section 10A after reducing those expenses that were reduced only from export turnover, to reduce from
3 the total turnover also, without appreciating that there is no provision in section 10AA to the effect that such expenses should also be reduced from the total turnover, as clause (iv) of the Explanation to Section 10A provides that such expenses have to be reduced only from the export turnover?
Whether the Tribunal was justified, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, in allowing relief to the assessee relying on the decision of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka which has not reached its finality and SLP has been filed against such order on this issue in the case of Tata Elxsi Ltd 349 ITR 98(KAR)?
Learned counsel appearing for the appellant- Revenue Mr.K.V.Aravind as well as Sri E.I.Sanmathi concede that the issue is as such covered by Tata Elxsi Ltd 349 ITR 98(KAR). However, they submit that the matter is carried before the Apex Court and SLP is pending.
In our view, when the issues are already covered by the decision of this Court, it cannot be said
4 that any substantial questions of law would arise for consideration.
Hence, the present appeal deserves to be dismissed but with an observation that, in the event, the Apex Court takes a different view, the Revenue may be at liberty to take appropriate action in accordance with law.
Subject to the abovesaid observation, the appeal is dismissed.
