In these circumstances, it is not necessary for the appellant to challenge the order in so far as section 12AA is concerned. 6. In view of the observations in the order of the Tribunal to the effect that in the event of the appellant obtaining approval under section 10(23C), the Assessing Officer should consider the matter in the light of such approval, it is not necessary to remand the matter to the Tribunal.
