In remand report Assessing Officer has concluded that advance given to Sonia International during 1995-96 were from over draft account from bank and not from own funds of company. On this remand report view of Ld.Counsel for assessee was that 2 matter has not been properly examined by Assessing Officer and he reiterated earlier stand that since Hon ble Tribunal in year 1995-96 have already held that loans were given from funds of company and not from borrowed funds this remand report may be ignored.
