TP adjustment - application of the Resale Price Method (RPM) as the Most Appropriate Method (‘MAM’) - trading activity - The decision of Supreme Court in Kedarnath Jute Manufacturing Co. Ltd.[1965 (4) TMI 91 - SUPREME COURT] is an authority for the proposition that tax authorities and adjudications as well as assessee are not precluded by the positions taken in returns, documents or accounts and have the duty (and a corresponding right) to apply the correct legal principle. Thus, the use of one method in a transfer pricing report does not estop the assessee from later claiming that another method is the most appropriate one, provided that is indeed the correct position. - HC
