Since the orders of the Tribunal are not published in legal journals, the High Court is not able to trace them for reading from any legal journal else we would not have even taken pains to follow that also. It is also unfortunate that even the Revenue has made no effort to file copy of the so called orders passed by the Tribunal in the case of this very assessee in I. T. A. No. 436/Ind/99 in this appeal for our perusal – matter remanded - 33 of 2006 - - - Dated:- 5-7-2007 - A. M. SAPRE and MRS. MANJUSHA P. NAMJOSHI JJ. R. L. Jain with Ku. V. Mandlik for the appellant.
