More so, when the same has arisen in assessee’s own case in preceding assessment years without these being any change in facts and circumstances. We adopt consistency in these facts and reject the Revenue’s sole substantive ground. - Decided against revenue - ITA No. 1937/Ahd/2011 - - - Dated:- 26-8-2015 - Shri G. D.

Assessee vide letter dated 18.11.2010 filed a reply, the relevant portion of which is reproduced at para no. 4 of the assessment order [Page no. 2].
