Analysis:

1. Issue of Rectification by Revenue:
The Revenue filed Miscellaneous Applications seeking rectification in the consolidated order passed by ITAT regarding the dismissal of the appeal on the addition made under section 80P(2)(e) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

2. Contentions of the Parties:
During the hearing, the Revenue reiterated its contentions made in the Miscellaneous Application, emphasizing that the issue was decided in favor of the assessee erroneously.

After careful consideration of the arguments and reviewing the impugned orders, the ITAT found no merit in the Revenue's Miscellaneous Application.

The ITAT held that there was no error in its order, as the issue had been adequately adjudicated by the CIT(A) based on the High Court's decision.
