..... 9,000/-. Facts of the case as per the AO are that he has made the disallowance on the ground that the above expenses have not been debited in the books of account and hence not allowable. Aggrieved, assessee preferred an appeal before the Ld. CIT(A). Before the Ld.

DCIT 35 taxmann.com 335 and also by the decision taken by the predecessor Ld. CIT(A) in assessee's own case for AY 2013-14. After considering the submissions, the Ld.

..... de by the AO of Rs. 1,97,06,000/- is hereby deleted." Aggrieved, revenue is in appeal before us. 7. We have heard rival submissions and gone through the facts and circumstances of the case. We note that this issue is covered in favour of the assessee in assessee's own case for the AY 2013-14 in ITA No. 946/Kol/2017 dated 07.12.2018 (supra) and the Ld. DR could not point out any change in facts or law which would have warranted any interference on the part of us.
