JUDGMENT D.V. Shylendra Kumar, J.—Though the matter has come up for orders regarding vacating the interim order dated 1-8-2012, with the consent of learned Counsel for the parties, the matter is taken up for disposal. This appeal by the assessee under Section 260-A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (for short, 'the Act') directed against the remand order dated 20-6-2012 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Bangalore, 'B' Bench, in ITA No. 950/Bang/2011 relating to assessment year 2007-08. 2. Under the impugned order, the Tribunal remanded the matter to the Assessing Authority to re-examine the matter in the light of certain judgments which had been relied upon by the assessee as supporting the case of the assessee and relating to the questions of eligibility/entitlement of the exemption under Section 10-A of the Act. 3. The appeal had been admitted by this Court overruling certain office objections and had been admitted on 1-8-2012 to consider the following substantial questions of law: (a) Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case and law, the Tribunal erred in remanding the issue of determination of the appellant's eligibility to claim deduction under Section 10-A/80-IB(8-A of the Act back to the respondent? (b) If the answer to above substantial question of law is in the negative and against the appellant then: Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case and law the Tribunal was justified in remanding the issue of eligibility of the appellant to claim deduction under Section 10-A/80-IB(8-A) of the Act to the respondent for his fresh consideration when the remand was made solely because the respondent had not considered the judgments relied upon by the appellant? 4.

Aravind, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Revenue is also to the same effect that the remand order is not sustainable as for no reason, the matter is remanded to the Assessing Officer; that the Assessing Officer had no role to play as this was a case involving transfer pricing and it was scrutinised by the Dispute Resolution Panel comprising of three Commissioners and the order passed by the Assessing Authority is following the directions issued by the Dispute Resolution Panel; that the remand order is clearly not sustainable and to this extent, learned Counsel for respondent-Revenue is also agreeable for the order of the Tribunal being set aside and to be remanded to the Tribunal for examination of the appeal of the assessee on merits. 10. In the result, this appeal is allowed. The order of the Tribunal is set aside and is remanded to the Tribunal for examination of the appeal of the assessee on merits. 11.
