Ramakotaiah And Shri Saktijit Dey,JJ. For the Appellant : Shri Y. R. Rao For the Respondent : Shri D. Sudhakar Rao ORDER Per Saktijit Dey, J. M.

Accordingly, the entire issue is remitted back to the file of the DIT(E) for fresh consideration." 4. Pursuant to the aforesaid direction of the ITAT, the DIT(E) took-up the proceeding again by issuing notice dated 22.05.2013 to the appellant to produce the original trust deed and amended/supplementary trust deed, if any, made subsequently. In response to the aforesaid notice, the appellant submitted a letter dated 31.05.2013 enclosing a draft amended trust deed signed by its AR.

Hence, registration sought u/s.12AA of the Act is refused to the above trust." 5. The learned AR strongly assailing the order of the DIT(E) submitted that on the earlier occasion when the appellant had challenged the refusal of registration by the DIT(E), the Tribunal in clear terms had directed that if appropriate amendment to the trust deed is made to the satisfaction of the DIT(E), registration will be granted. Keeping in view the direction of the Tribunal, the appellan ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... the trust deed to the satisfaction of the DIT(E). A perusal of the draft trust deed does reveal that there is amendment to the trust deed. It is the contention of the learned A.R. that the unsigned draft trust deed was submitted before the DIT(E) only for the purpose of knowing whether the amendment carried out was to his satisfaction or not. This fact is also clear from the letter dated 31.05.2013 before the DIT(E). We also accept such contention of the assessee. In our view the approach of the assessee in submitting the draft trust deed before the DIT(E) for his approval in the given circumstances was correct, since there is certainly a genuine apprehension in the mind of the assessee as to whether the amendment carried out would be to th .....
