CIT(A) has decided the issue in favour of the assessee and hence, there is no dispute in the present appeal towards this amount. Regarding Sl. No.15-22, it was submitted that the disallowance for these items were made by the A.O. of Rs.32,18,58,199/- but such disallowance is not justified in view of the recent decision of Hon ble Calcutta High Court rendered in the case of Virgin Creations (Appeal No.302 of 2007)[G.A.No.3200/2011] because it was held by Hon ble Calcutta High Court in that case that the amendment in Section 40(a)(ia) is retrospective and hence, if the TDS was deposited by the assessee in the Government account before the due date of filing of return of income, disal .....

In the result, this appeal is partly allowed. 6. Now, we take up the appeal of the assessee in I.T.A.No. 3550/Ahd/2008 in the case of Backbone J K Joint Venture. The grounds raised by the assessee are as under: 1) That the Ld. CIT(A) has grievously erred in law and on facts in holding that the appellant is liable to deduct tax at source within the meaning of section 194C and thereby confirming the addition ofRs.2,93,46,430/- made u/s 20(a)((ia) of the Income tax Act, 1961. 2) That on facts and in law it ought to have been held that it is not a payment to sub contractor but only allocation of receipt to members of assessee AOP, on .....

CIT(A) has already allowed part relief and had confirmed only disallowance of Rs.2,93,46,430/-. Now, we delete the balance disallowance also. Ground No.1 is allowed. 7. For ground No.2, no argument was made by the Ld. A.R. and hence, it is inferred that this ground was not pressed and accordingly rejected as not pressed. 8. Ground No.3 is regarding charging of interest u/s 234B but since this issue is consequential, no separate adjudication is called for. 9. In the result, this appeal of the assessee is also partly allowed. 10. In the combined result, both the appeals of the assessees are partly allowed in terms indicated above. 11.
