..... anand. Considering those facts, in our opinion, ld.CIT(A) has rightly held that the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) wrongly invoked. This ground of the Revenue is therefore dismissed. In the result, Revenue s appeal is dismissed. [C] Assessee s CO No.200/Ahd/2009 for A.Y. 2005-06 (In ITA No.2365/Ahd/2009 A.Y. 2005-06) 9. Through this cross objection, the only reason for filing was that the issue being covered by a decision of the Tribunal (as cited supra), the ground of the Revenue deserves to be dismissed. Since a view has already been expressed while deciding the appeal of the Revenue, this CO has become redundant, therefore dismissed. [D] ITA No.839/Ahd/2010 for A.Y. 2006-07 (Assessee s appeal) 10.
