..... t least deduction to the extent of disallowance made i.e. Rs. 4,81,185 should be allowed. The learned Departmental Representative strongly objected to the fresh claim made by the learned authorised representative of the assessee under s. 152 of the IT Act, which was never made before the AO.

We are also of the view that under the plea of claim under s. 152(2), the assessee is trying to take up the issue of deduction under s. 32AB in asst. yr. 1987-88, which has already reached its finality.
