It is also urged that as the assessee had brought in certain discrepancies in valuing the closing stock for the financial year corresponding to assessment year 1994-95, while valuing the stocks for the period relevant for the assessment year in question i.e., assessment year 1995- 96, the assessing officer had set right the discrepancies, but the Tribunal opining that it is not correct has also affected the decision of the Tribunal. 8. One another question which is sought to be urged relating to the appeal arising for the year 1995-96 is that in the matter of computing the benefit that the assessee is entitled under the provisions of section 80HHC of the Act, computation of profits attributable to the export turnover has not been properly done; that it is not fully in consonance with the Judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of 'COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX v. K RAVINDRANATHAN NAIR [(2007) 295 ITR 228] which decision has in fact been explained and applied by the division Bench of this court in ITA Nos.793 to 796 of 2006 as per Judgment dated 6.6.2012 and therefore the order of the Tribun .....

However, Sri. Thirumalesh, learned counsel for the appellant - revenue has joined in issue on this aspect by pointing out that the correctness of the Judgment of this court in the case of RANKA & RANKA [supra] is subject matter of appeals before the Supreme Court; that the appeals when filed were very much maintainable in law; that it was only circular under Instruction No.2/2005 though issued under section 119-A of the Act as was the statutory provision under which such circulars were being issued at that time, but in the language of section 268-A[5] of the Act, that circular also being deemed to be one issued under section 268-A of the Act and that having indicated that while the limit of the value of the appeals being Rs.4 lakhs and less which were not to be preferred by the revenue, but above Rs.4 lakhs for all the years put together, the questions having arisen and also having recurring effect, such appeals were tenable even at that time and even circular No.3/2011 also having left scope for certain t .....
