ORDER
PER SUNIL KUMAR YADAV:
These Miscellaneous Applications are preferred on behalf of the
assessees against a consolidated order of the Tribunal dated 22.10.2008
with the submission that the Tribunal has adjudicated the issue relying
upon the order of the Agra Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Govind
Prasad Krishna Kumar v. JCIT (Special), Agra in ITA No. 236/Agr/2006,
whereas the facts considered by the Agra Bench of the Tribunal are quite
different from the facts involved in the cases of the present assessees.
Therefore, a mistake is crept in the order of the Tribunal which calls for
rectification.
2. The ld. counsel for the assessees further contended that the Agra
Bench of the Tribunal has followed the judgment of Hon'ble Madhya
Pradesh High Court in the case of Awadhesh Pratap Singh Abdul Rehman &
Bros. v. CIT [1994], 210 ITR 406 while adjudicating the issue whereas the
facts of the present assessees' cases are not analogous to the facts of the
case disposed of by the Agra Bench of the Tribunal. Therefore, the order
of the Tribunal may be recalled and a fresh hearing be given to the
assessees in order to bring the correct facts before the Tribunal.
3. The ld. D.R., on the other hand, has submitted that the order of
the Agra Bench of the Tribunal was placed on behalf of the assessees
during the course of hearing before the Tribunal with the submission that
the impugned issue is covered by the order of the Agra Bench of the
:-3-:
Tribunal and the Lucknow Bench of the Tribunal has followed the order of
the Agra Bench of the Tribunal while adjudicating the appeals and now the
assessees are taking altogether a contrary stand that the facts involved in
the Agra Bench of the Tribunal are different.
4. Having given a thoughtful consideration to the rival submissions
and from a careful perusal of record, we find that the Lucknow Bench of
the Tribunal has adjudicated the issue involved in the assessees' cases
following the order of the Agra Bench of the Tribunal on which reliance has
been placed on behalf of the assessees during the course of hearing.
During the course of hearing before us, nothing was stated on behalf of the
assessees with regard to the factual difference in the assessees ' cases with
the order of the Agra Bench of the Tribunal. The Lucknow Bench of the
Tribunal has adjudicated the issue following the order of the co-ordinate
Bench. Therefore, we do not find any mistake in the order of the Tribunal.
Moreover, the scope of section 254(2) is very limited under which any
mistake apparent in the order of the Tribunal can be rectified. Under the
garb of rectification, review of the order is not possible. We, therefore, find
no merit in the Miscellaneous Applications preferred on behalf of the
assessees and dismiss the same.
5. In the result, all the Miscellaneous Applications filed by the
assessees are dismissed.
Order pronounced in the open court on 10.7.2012.
