The CIT(A) XII failed to appreciate that if receipt cannot be brought to tax under the provisions of IT Act, 1961 other than 115JA, it cannot be brought to tax under s. 115JA of the Act. 2. During the previous year under consideration (relevant to asst. yr. 1997-98), the company entered into an agreement with BASF of Germany, whereby BASF would exclusively distribute certain dyes in the whole world except India and USA 'the territory') and the company would not compete with BASF within the territory in respect of such dyes.

The learned CIT(A) after making lengthy discussions agreed with the AO and upheld that addition made by the AO under s. 143(1)(a).

Before parting with the case, we may add that we were informed in the Court that the Department had already issued notice under s. 143(2), thus setting in motion the regular assessment proceedings. The discussion as in our order will be without prejudice to any view that may be taken by the AO, in accordance with law in the regular assessment proceedings. 3.
