The second issue raised by the assessee is that disallowance of assessee's claim of Rs. 1,52,58,201 made under section 10A is not justified. The very same issue was considered in assessee's own case for assessment year 2005-06 by ITAT, 'B' Bench, Bangalore, through their order dated 21-1-2011 in ITA No. 762/Bang./2010. The very same issue was decided in favour of the assessee for assessment year 2004-05 as well by ITAT, Bangalore Bench.

In result, this appeal filed by the assessee is partly allowed.
