On appeal, the Commissioner (Appeals) was of the opinion that in paragraph 6 of his direction the IAC had himself observed that keeping in view the facts and decision cited, he was of the opinion that the liability on account of licence fee incurred as per contract with the excise department was totally allowable. Thereafter referring to Kedarnath Jute Mfg. Co. Ltd. v. CIT [1971] 82 ITR 363 (SC), 32 CTR 221 (sic), Addl. CIT v. T. Nagireddy Co. [1976] 105 ITR 669 (AP) and CIT v.
