The appellant craves leave to add, alter, delete or vary from all or any ground of appeal before or at the time of hearing." 2. The brief facts of the case are that, the assessee company filed its return of income declaring loss of Rs.8,98,24,599/- and claiming refund of Rs.1,03,37,677/- on 30.12.1999. While passing order u/s 143(1) (a) of Income Tax Act, the Assessing Officer observed that TDS certificates amounting to Rs.51,47,732/- were defective and hence credit for the same was not given. Against the said order u/s 143(1) (a), the assessee filed rectification application on 05.06.2000 for .....

T. Act, 1961. (d) That the assessee in terms of the provisions of Article 11[1(2)] the assessee had the opinion of claiming credit for the advance corporation tax to the extent the credit exceeded his liability to the United Kingdom tax.

Further, as a matter of fact, this issue has already been adjudicated upon by my predecessor vide his order dated 27.02.2003 in Appeal No.375/99-00 filed by the appellant against order u/s 154 read with section 143(1) (a) of the Income Tax Act 1961. The same issue cannot be taken up again for fresh decision. Accordingly, the appeal filed by the asessee is dismissed." 5. Aggrieved, the assessee filed appeal before ITAT and ITAT vide its order dated 06.03.2009 dismissed the appeal of assessee. The assessee filed appeal before Hon'ble Delhi High Court which vide order dated 19th Novemb .....

CIT (A) has rightly rejected the claim. 9. We have heard the rival parties and have gone through the material placed on record. We find that the Tribunal in its order dated 6th March, 2009 vide para 20 had held that credit may have to be given for amount not exceeding that portion of Indian tax which such income bears to the entire income chargeable to Indian Tax. However in para 21 and para 22 it dismissed the appeal by holding as under: "21. Further, as a matter of fact, this issue has already been ad .....

Therefore, in our opinion the assessee had the right to appeal against order passed u/s 143 (3) and had the right to agitate the same issue as already agitated in proceedings against order passed u/s 154 read with section 143(1) (a) as order passed u/s 154 against order passed u/s 143 (1) (a) is an extension of proceedings u/s 143 (1) (a) 11. As regards merits of the case, we observe that Ld. CIT (A) dismissed the appeal of the assessee just holding that assessee was not able to rebut each and every point raised by Assessing Officer and further on the basis that appeal was already decided by his predecessor in appeal filed against order u/s 154.
