The first question pertained to the AMP expenditure, which the ITAT had remitted for fresh consideration in light of the Special Bench judgment in L.G. Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. v. ACIT. However, since L.G. Electronics itself had been partially reversed and remitted for reconsideration based on the directions in Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications India Private Limited v. CIT, the High Court held that no question of law arose in reconsidering the matter. The Court emphasized that the directions in Sony Ericsson case would be considered and applied in the fresh review. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the appeal on this issue. Service Charges Issue: The second issue raised by the revenue was regarding service charges agreed but not shown during the relevant year. The High Court noted that the principle of consistency was applied in this matter. Additionally, the Court referred to a previous order where it had refused to frame a question of law in a similar case. Citing Commissioner of Income Tax-I v. Bose Corporation India Pvt. Ltd., the High Court concluded that no question of law arose in this instance as well. Therefore, the Court dismissed the appeal on this issue, along with the pending application, deeming them unmerited.
