The third appeal has been preferred by the revenue against the order of the CIT(A) dated 7.10.2005 relevant to assessment year 2002- 03. Since the issues involved in these appeals are similar in nature and even all the three appeals are related to the same assessee, hence all the three appeals, for the sake of convenience, are disposed off with this common order.

Then under such circumstances the token disallowance of 10% was not justified against the specific directions of the Tribunal in the case in hand. Even the co-ordinate bench of this Tribunal in the case of Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Arthur Anderson Co .
