Baskar, Advocate For the Respondent : Shri Guru Bashyam, IRS, JCIT ORDER Per Dr. O. K. Narayanan, Vice-President These appeals are filed by the assessee. The first appeal is directed against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax, rejecting the application filed by the assessee for obtaining registration under sec.12AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
