Issues Involved:
1. Assessment order legality and jurisdiction
2. Rejection of books of accounts
3. Disallowance under section 14A r.w.r 8D
4. Disallowance under section 40(a)(ia)
5. Deduction claimed under section 80IC

Detailed Analysis:

1. Assessment Order Legality and Jurisdiction:
The appeal challenged the assessment order for the assessment year 2008-09, where the AO determined the total income and made various disallowances. The appellant contended that the assessment order and additions made were illegal, bad in law, and without jurisdiction. The appellant raised multiple grounds challenging the actions of the AO and CIT(A) regarding the assessment process and the legality of the additions.

2. Rejection of Books of Accounts:
The appellant argued that the books of accounts were rejected without pointing out any defects, which was deemed as bad in law. The appellant claimed that the allocation of expenses between the two units was correctly done but was arbitrarily rejected by the revenue authorities. Detailed contentions were presented regarding the working capital requirements, profit percentages, and funding sources for each unit to justify the allocation of expenses.

3. Disallowance under Section 14A r.w.r 8D:
The issue of disallowance under section 14A r.w.r 8D was raised. It was noted that the appellant did not have any exempted income, and thus, no disallowance could be made under section 14A of the Act. The decision of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in a similar case was cited to support the appellant's contention, leading to the allowance of this ground.

4. Disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia):
Regarding the disallowance made under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, the appellant relied on a decision of the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court and argued for a fresh adjudication by the AO. The appellant was instructed to gather necessary evidence from the payees to demonstrate that the second proviso to section 40(a)(ia) was applicable before seeking a set-aside. The issue was directed to be sent back to the AO for further examination based on the evidence provided by the appellant.

5. Deduction Claimed under Section 80IC:
The last issue involved part disallowance of the deduction claimed under section 80IC of the Act. The contentions of the appellant were summarized concerning the rejection of books of accounts, allocation of expenses between units, and the consistency of treatment in previous assessment years. The AO's failure to provide specific reasons for disagreeing with the appellant's calculations led to the allowance of the appellant's grounds of appeal, setting aside the order of the CIT(A) on this issue.

In conclusion, the appeal was allowed in part, with specific grounds being upheld based on detailed arguments and evidence presented by the appellant to challenge the assessment order and various disallowances made by the tax authorities.
