The first appellate authority, after waving the condition of pre-deposit of amounts involved, took up the appeal itself for disposal. 4. The first appellate authority, after considering the issue in detail, and going through the law, held that the Order-in-Original is incorrect and coming to such a conclusion, set aside the said order and allowed the appeal filed by the assessee. 5.

Stay petition is also disposed off accordingly. 9. It can be seen from the above reproduced ratio of our judgment that the issue now stands settled in favour of the assessee. 10. In view of the foregoing and the judicial pronouncement already made, we find that the impugned order is correct and does not suffer from any infirmity. 11. Accordingly, the appeal filed by the .....
