At the time of hearing, counsel for the assessee submits that except ground No. (ii), the other three grounds are not pressed and may be treated as withdrawn. Therefore, the above ground Nos. (i), (iii) and (iv) relating to disallowance of cost of two comber machines, cost of auto coner and charging of interest under sections 234B and 234C of the Act are dismissed as withdrawn. 4.

Against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) the assessee is in appeal before us. So far as the grounds raised in respect of disallowance of cost of two comber machines and one auto coner is concerned, the assessee is not pressing the grounds. Coming to the disallowance of the cost of 339 units of yarn clearers treating them as capital expenditure, counsel submits that this issue is never in dispute before any of the authorities as the Assessing Officer while completing the assessment accepted that this expenditure as revenue expenditure and no disallowance was made.

The assessee carried the matter to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) by order dated November 5, 2004 allowed the claim of the assessee holding that costs of comber machines and auto coner are revenue expenditure. Further appeal was preferred by the Revenue to the Tribunal and the Tribunal by order dated December 17, 2006 in I. T. A.

Since the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) has no jurisdiction to decide the issue which is not before the lower authorities at any stage originally, he could have rectified his order on the application filed by the assessee. The assessee preferred an appeal against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in rejecting the petition filed under section 154 of the Act.
