The judgment pertains to an appeal against an order dated 04.08.2010 by the Commissioner of Income-tax, Meerut u/s 12AA(1)(b)(ii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Commissioner mentioned conflicting information in the order regarding the application for registration u/s 12A and renewal of registration u/s 80G. The Commissioner concluded that the society was not engaged in charitable activities and thus did not qualify for deduction u/s 80G. Due to the ambiguity in the Commissioner's order, the matter was remanded back for fresh adjudication to ascertain all facts related to the application for registration u/s 12A, providing the assessee with an opportunity to present supporting materials. The appeal was treated as allowed for statistical purposes. In the judgment, the Commissioner of Income-tax's order was challenged due to discrepancies in mentioning the applications for registration u/s 12A and renewal of registration u/s 80G. The Tribunal found it necessary to send the matter back to the Commissioner for reevaluation after clarifying the facts and materials related to the application for registration u/s 12A. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of providing the assessee with a fair opportunity to present all relevant materials in support of their application. The decision to remand the matter back for fresh adjudication was made to ensure a proper examination of the case in accordance with the law. The Tribunal's decision highlighted the need for clarity and consistency in the Commissioner's order regarding the applications for registration u/s 12A and renewal of registration u/s 80G. The Tribunal directed the matter to be reconsidered by the Commissioner to determine the eligibility of the society for registration and renewal based on the evidence provided by the assessee. By allowing the appeal for statistical purposes, the Tribunal emphasized the importance of a fair and thorough examination of the case to ensure compliance with the provisions of the law.
