The revenue is aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal whereby, the order dated 25.03.2013 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax-II, Jalandhar withdrawing the registration granted under Section 12AA(3) of the Act to the assessee w.e.f. assessment year 2004-05 was set aside.

One M/s. Washington Softwares Ltd. (M/s. WSL) was being run by Sanjay D. Sonawani, which was a bogus company and the statement of the said person was recorded on 12.05.2011 who also further admitted that he had provided accommodation entries to the assessee through his company.

He accordingly submitted that the substantial question of law would arise that the activities of the society were not genuine and once accommodation entries had been taken from M/s.

Only on the ground of mere apprehension, the registration could not be withdrawn. Accordingly, the order of the Tribunal allowing the appeal was upheld. The relevant observations read thus;- "19. The objects of the trust can be had from the bye-laws or the deed of trust, as the case may be and unless, of course, the objects of the trust apparently make out that they were not in consonance with the public policy or that they were not the objects of any charitable purpose, registration cannot be refused accordingly on this ground. 20.
