Since the assessee has not claimed any deduction u/s. 54EC of the Act in AY 2008-09, the question of making any disallowance of the said claim does not arise in AY 2008-09. Hence the AO was not justified in making disallowance of any amount, which was not claimed at all in AY 2008-09. CIT(A) was not justified in confirming the said disallowance.
