The brief facts of the case is that the assessee has filed this appeal on denial of claim of deduction under section 10B of the Act. The Assessing Officer while denying the claim of deduction under section 10B of the Act, relied upon the ratio of the decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of CIT v. Regency Creations Ltd.

Hence, in the interest of justice, we are inclined to remit the entire issue back to the file of the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration as he had no occasion to consider the above documents as it was first time filed with the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals).
