..... . 2004-05 (in ITA No.2247/Mum/2008 dated 08.08.2012), taking us through the relevant part of the tribunal's order for A.Y. 2001-02, being the lead order. On being questioned as to how the assessee claims an identity of facts with the preceding years, for the said decisions to be applicable, he would take us to para 4 of the assessment order as well as paras 4 4.1 of the impugned order, which clarify and state of there being no material change in the situation for the current year. Further, on being pointed out that the gross receipt as per the assessment order (Rs.11.89 crores) is at variance with the amount in dispute as projected by the assessee's ground no.1, it was submitted by the counsel that the ld.
