..... ssues are involved in both these appeals, these were heard together and are being disposed of by this consolidated order for the sake of convenience.

..... he disallowance of repairs and maintenance expenses of Rs. 4,58,971/- made by the AO applying provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. 3.1. At the outset, the ld.counsel for the assessee submitted that both the appeals are required to be restored to the file of AO for verification and decision afresh.
