CIT(A) did not properly consider the direction given by ITAT on an identical issue in AY 2005-06 2006-07, more particularly, the alternative direction given by ITAT. Hence we are inclined to follow the order passed by ITAT in the assessee s own case for AY 2005-06 2006-07. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by Ld CIT(A) on this issue in all the three years under consideration and, following the decision rendered by ITAT in AY 2005-06 2006-07 on an identical issue, we restore this issue to the file of the AO/TPO in all the three years under consideration with similar direction.

According to Ld A.R, the TPO has followed the alternative direction given by ITAT while giving effect to the order of the ITAT in AY 2005-06 and 2006-07. 9.
