Bot Summary: A perusal of the impugned order of the ITAT reveals that the ITAT gave detailed reasons in support of its conclusions. Learned counsel for the Revenue has urged that the reasons given by ITAT are incomplete inasmuch as out of the several grounds in support of the conclusions reached by the Dispute Resolution Panel, the ITAT has discussed only one ground. ITA No.742/2017 Page 1 of 2 It is accordingly submitted that the conclusions of the ITAT in respect of each of the comparables are perverse. This Court finds that neither in the questions of law as urged by the Revenue nor in the grounds in the memorandum of Appeal is there a specific plea that the conclusions of the ITAT are perverse. It has to be supported by a proper pleading which again has to be on the basis of a detailed study of the impugned order of the ITAT pointing out to the High Court in what manner the ITAT s conclusions can be said to be perverse. Incidentally, even the word perversity has not been used anywhere in the questions of law or in the grounds urged before the Court. If there has to be a substantial question of law framed on such an issue, the Revenue should come up with a proper plea based on a detailed study of the impugned order of the ITAT. This Court is therefore not persuaded in the present case to hold that any substantial question of law has arisen for consideration from the impugned order of the ITAT. 6.


IN HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI ITA 742/2017 PR.COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX-08 ..... Appellant Through: Mr. Zoheb Hossain, Sr. Standing Counsel with Mr.Deepak Anand, Advocate versus SOJITZ INDIA PRIVATE LTD. ..... Respondent Through: Mr. Vineet Sinha, Advocate CORAM: JUSTICE S.MURALIDHAR JUSTICE PRATHIBA M. SINGH ORDER 04.09.2017 1. This is appeal by Revenue against order dated 13th December, 2016 passed by Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ( ITAT ) in ITA No.1195/Del/2014 for Assessment Year 2006-07. 2. question of law urged by Revenue pertains to inclusion and exclusion of comparables for determining arms length price (ALP) for purpose of transfer pricing adjustment arising out of international transactions entered into by Assessee with its Associated Enterprise. 3. perusal of impugned order of ITAT reveals that ITAT gave detailed reasons in support of its conclusions. Learned counsel for Revenue has urged that reasons given by ITAT are incomplete inasmuch as out of several grounds in support of conclusions reached by Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP), ITAT has discussed only one ground. ITA No.742/2017 Page 1 of 2 It is accordingly submitted that conclusions of ITAT in respect of each of comparables are perverse. 4. This Court finds that neither in questions of law as urged by Revenue nor in grounds in memorandum of Appeal is there specific plea that conclusions of ITAT are perverse. In any event, ground of perversity is not to be casually urged. It has to be supported by proper pleading which again has to be on basis of detailed study of impugned order of ITAT pointing out to High Court in what manner ITAT s conclusions can be said to be perverse. This condition is not met in present case. Incidentally, even word perversity has not been used anywhere in questions of law or in grounds urged before Court. 5. exclusion and inclusion of comparables is by and large exercise of analysis of facts. If there has to be substantial question of law framed on such issue, Revenue should come up with proper plea based on detailed study of impugned order of ITAT. This Court is therefore not persuaded in present case to hold that any substantial question of law has arisen for consideration from impugned order of ITAT. 6. Appeal is accordingly dismissed. S.
