Revenue has raised several grounds in its appeal, however, crux of issue is as follows:- learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in allowing claim of deduction under section 80IA of Act for 2 ITA No.2091 /Mds/2016 Rs.1,07,18,597/- by following decision of Hon ble jurisdictional High Court in case of Sri Velayuthasamy Spinning Mills P.Ltd. reported in 236 CTR 368. 3.

On appeal, learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) allowed deduction of Rs.1,07,18,597/- claimed by assessee under section 80IA of Act in view of binding decision of jurisdictional High Court in case of CIT Vs.Sri Velayuthasamy Spinning Mils Ltd. cited supra. 5.

We have heard rival contentions and carefully perused material on record.

Further, it is not case of Revenue that judgment of Hon ble Madras High Court in case Velayudhaswamy Spinning Mills P. Ltd (surpa) is stayed by Hon ble Apex Court. It is pertinent to mention that in absence of any stay granted by Hon ble Apex Court against operation of judgment of Hon ble Madras High Court, all lower judiciaries as well as quasi judicial authorities are bound to follow decision of Hon ble Jurisdictional High Court.
