..... Ticket for doctors by a medical company is unethical and against the public policy. Before us also, no evidence has been brought on record to show that the amount claimed to have been incurred through the Managing Director is supported by any evidence and what is the nature of expenditure.

Considering all these facts, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order of learned CIT(A) on this issu .....
