Bot Summary: We have heard arguments of both the sides and carefully perused the order of the Tribunal. AR supported the order of the Tribunal and placed a copy of CBDT Circular No.12/2016, dated 30th May, 2016 and submitted that Tribunal has passed a justified order which cannot be interfered with and prayed that the miscellaneous application filed by the Revenue deserves to be dismissed. After hearing the submissions of both the parties and carefully perusing of the Tribunal order, we observe that the Tribunal has confirmed the order of CIT(A) on the basis of material evidence available on record. Further on perusal of the impugned order, we find that the Tribunal has decided the appeal of the Revenue relying on the decision of Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of TRF Limited. In our considered opinion, the Tribunal has passed a reasoned order which cannot be interfered with by us. Accordingly, the miscellaneous application filed by the Revenue is dismissed. In the result, miscellaneous application of the Revenue is dismissed.
