..... by disallowing u/s 11 of the Act. Only the ITA No. 581/Asr/2015 for A.Y. 2008-09 has a different issue related to disallowance of expenses. The Assessment Orders were framed by the ld. DCIT, Circle-III, Jalandhar u/s 143(3)/147 of the Act. Except ITA No. 581/Asr/2015 is framed u/s 143(3) of the Act.

..... 6. We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the material available on the record. The ld CIT-II, Jalandhar passed order U/s 12AA of the Act on 24/10/2013 w.e.f. A.Y. 2004-05 but in Section 12AA(3), the amendment was made by the Finance Act, 2010, which was effective prospectively as clarified by the CBDT as well as various ITATs. The case laws relied by the AR of the assessee also support the case of the assessee, therefore, from A.Y. 2004-05, the cancellation is out of jurisdiction. The Hon ble Delhi High Court in the case of Director of Income Tax (Exemption) Vs. Mool Chand Khairati Ram Trust (2011)339 ITR 622 (Delhi) has held that power of cancellation of registration obtained U/s 12A came to be incorporat .....

..... nd on 25- 28. There is a typographical error in the amounts noted at page number 21 and 25. The amount of Rs.3,50,02,163/- has been mentioned instead of Rs. 14,75,25,704.

Since there is absence of any findings of the lower authorities, we deem it appropriate to set-aside the same to the file of the ld. CIT(A) who shall examine the aforesaid contentions so raised besides examining the matter from the perspective of allowability in case of Trust and genuineness of expenses. Further, the assessee should get reasonable opportunity of hearing for filing the evidence in relation to its claim. In the result, the ITA No. 581/Asr/2015 for A.Y. 2008-09 is allowed for statistical purposes. 7. When we decide the appeals in limine, the stay applications bearing S.A.
