Analysis:
The judgment pertains to a Miscellaneous Petition filed by the assessee seeking modification of the order passed by the Tribunal in relation to the assessment year 2001-02. The assessee contended that the Tribunal's findings on the payment of commission amounting to Rs. 25 lakhs were incorrect and requested a modification of the order. The ld.
