                                ORDER


      This appeal by the Revenue is directed against the order passed by

the CIT(A) on 30.5.2014 in relation to the Assessment Year 2010-11.



2.    The only issue raised in this appeal is against the deletion of

addition of Rs.1,55,71,643/-
                                                           ITA No.4509/Del/2014   2







3.   Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that the assessee declared

revenue receipts of Rs.8,74,667/-. As against that, the assessee claimed

deduction for expenses amounting to Rs.1,55,71,643/-. The AO opined

that the business of the assessee was not set up and, hence, no deduction

could be allowed. He, therefore, made disallowance of Rs.1.55 Crore.

The ld. CIT(A) deleted the addition. The Revenue is aggrieved against

the deletion of the addition.

4.   I have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant

material on record. It is noticed that the ld. CIT(A) has deleted the

addition by relying on the Tribunal order passed in the assessee's own

case for earlier years deciding the issue in the assessee's favour. The ld.

AR invited my attention towards a copy of the judgment rendered by the

Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the assessee's own case for the AYs 2007-

08 and 2008-09 in which a categorical finding has been recorded that

the business was set up and had commenced. It has further been noticed

by the Hon'ble High Court that the assessee was required to incur

expenses for the business in the form of investment in shares of cement

companies. That is how the deduction was allowed. In view of the fact

that the Hon'ble High Court has, in identical circumstances, for
                                                          ITA No.4509/Del/2014   3







assessment years 2007-08 and 200-09,          allowed deduction for such

expenses, respectfully following the precedent, I also order for the

deduction of expenses because no distinguishing facts for the year under

consideration vis-à-vis those considered and examined by the Hon'ble

High Court, have been brought to my notice by the ld. DR. I, therefore,

uphold the impugned order.



5.    In the result, the appeal filed is dismissed.

      The decision was pronounced in the open court on 06th October,

      2015.
