The facts categorically stated by the ITSC is that the applicants is not in receipts of car parking money in case of commercial projects is recorded at paragraph 13.3 and 13.1 of ITSC's order.

..... ew of the above facts in the present case, it is clear that the assessment year 2012-13 in the case of SNCML was covered in the proceeding before the ITSC. The ITSC has already taxed the revenue from the project LodhaSupremus in the hand of SNCML as evident from the discussion in above paragraph. Thus, I am of the considered view that taxing the same income again in the hand of the Appellant will result into double taxation of the same income which is not permissible in view of the settled principle. I also find force in the submission of the AR that the Appellant was used as a SPV by SNCML for construction of LodhaSupremus which is more like a co-operative society carrying out the work for and on behalf of its members out of the cost met by them. Therefore, the transactions entered into between the SNCML and Appellant are not sham transaction as alleged by the AO. Under such circumstances no profit could arise in the hand of SPV. Thus, I am of the view that the addition of profit made in the hand of the Appellant is unjustified; therefore, the addition made by the AO is deleted. These grounds of appeal are allowed. It was observed from the records that the Appellant Compan .....
