The price paid by the assessee to these outside parties, in our opinion can be regarded to be the best evidence for determining the market value of the crude ore used by the assessee extracting it from its own mines. Since determination of market value requires verification on the part of the revenue, we, therefore, restore this issue only for determining the market value of the crude ore consumed by the assessee on the basis of the value paid by the assessee for the crude ore to the outside parties during the year and thereby recomputing the profit derived by the assessee from the 100% EOU units eligible for exemption u/s 10B. Accordingly, we direct the Assessing Officer to recomputed the exemption available u/s 10B to the assessee in respect of Amona as well as Chitradurga units after ascertaining the market value of the crude ores transferred by the assessee to these units from its extraction divisions on the basis of the average market value as the assessee has paid to the outside parties for the crude ores purchased by the assessee from these parties during the impugned assessment y .....

Application is self explanatory, therefore, in view of the decisions cited above, the Misc. Application filed by the assessee should be allowed by modifying the order dated 10.09.2015 of the Tribunal. 3. The Ld. DR, on the other hand, strongly opposed the Misc. Application. The Ld. DR submitted that first of all there is a delay of 1130 days in filing of the Misc. Application and therefore, on this count itself the Misc. Application should be dismissed as barred by limitation. The Ld. DR further submitted that the Tribunal after considering the rival arguments from both the sides and considering the fact that appeal for A.Y. 2009-10 was pending before CIT(A) for adjudication on the basis of new evidences found during the course of survey, had restored the matter to the file of the CIT(A).

It was also submitted by him that fresh evidences produced by the AO which is found during the course of the survey on the assessee, were also produced before the CIT (A). It was also his argument that the issue be restored to the file of the CIT(A) for re-adjudication in line with his decision for A.Y. 2009-10.
