S. Syal And Smt. Diva Singh,JJ. Sh. S. B. Garg, FCA. Sh. Sachin Garg, FCA. Sh. Yogesh Kumar, CIT, DR. ORDER Per R. S. SYAL, AM. This appeal by the assessee arises out of the order passed by the Assessing Officer u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 144C (13) of the Income- tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter called `the Act') on 20.9.2013 in relation to the Assessment Year 2009-10. 2.

AR has not disputed the exclusion of the comparable cases initially chosen by the assessee in its TP Study. Similarly there is no controversy on the selection of the most appropriate method or the Profit Level Indicator (PLI). The major focus of the ld. AR's submission was against the inclusion of two cases by the TPO viz., Infosys Ltd and Bodhtree Consulting Ltd. It was stated that both these cases were incomprable and liable to be excluded. 4.1.

DR submitted that the question about the matching of facts of Agnity India Technologies (supra) with that of the assessee could not be readily answered because certain details were required to be examined at length in this regard. 4.3.

It was therefore, contended that the said case be excluded. The ld. DR opposed the contention by stating that the nature of business referred to by the ld. AR of Bodhtree Consulting Ltd. as having been engaged in ITES also was not clear from their financial results of such company. After arguments, both the sides agreed that this case may also be sent back for fresh consideration at the end of the TPO.
