On a specific query from the bench, as submitted by assessee that necessary facts on this aspect are not readily available and there is no finding of any of the authorities below on this aspect. Under these facts, feel it proper to restore the matter back to the file of AO for fresh decision after examining this aspect of the facts of the present case in the light of these two judgments and in the light of above observations. Hence set aside the order of CIT (A) and restore the matter back to the file of AO for fresh decision - Decided in favour of assessee for statistical purposes. - ITA No.2874/Bang/2017 - - - Dated:- 12-3-2018 - SHRI ARUN KUMAR G .....

In the first judgment, the issue in dispute was decided by Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in favour of the assessee whereas in the later judgment, the issue in dispute was decided in favour of the revenue. Hence I have to first see and decide as to whether there is any contradiction in these two judgments of Hon'ble Karnataka High Court. When I do so, I find that in the case of Tumkur Merchants Souharda Credit Cooperative Ltd. Vs.
