The judgment involves the issue of exemption of income u/s 80P (2)(a)(iii) for marketing of agriculture produce of its members. Details of the judgment: 1. The Tribunal initially decided against the assessee regarding the exemption of income u/s 80P (2)(a)(iii) based on previous orders. The CIT (A) and the Departmental Representative also rejected the claim citing precedents. The appeal of the assessee was dismissed following earlier tribunal orders and a High Court decision. 2. The assessee appealed to the Punjab & Haryana High Court, which allowed the appeal based on a Full Bench decision in favor of the assessee. The High Court set aside the Tribunal's order and remanded the matter for a fresh decision in accordance with the law. 3. Subsequently, the appeals were scheduled for hearing, and the matter was adjourned until both parties were heard on the issue. 4. Referring to a similar case, the Chandigarh Bench of the Tribunal decided in favor of the assessee regarding the deduction u/s 80P. The Assessing Officer had denied the deduction, but the Tribunal upheld the stand of the assessee based on the Full Bench judgment of the High Court. 5. Following the High Court's decision in the assessee's case, the Tribunal decided in favor of the assessee on the issue of deduction u/s 80P, as no other issues were raised before the High Court. The Tribunal dismissed the departmental appeal on this issue, aligning with the High Court's decision. 6. The Tribunal maintained its original order on all other issues, passing the current order to comply with the High Court's findings. 7. Ultimately, both cross-appeals were allowed for statistical purposes, in line with the Tribunal's previous order from 2004. The judgment was pronounced in the open court on 19.11.2010.
