Royalty expenditure and subcontract expenditure were both restored to the Assessing Officer for fresh examination because the existing record did not conclusively establish the contractual basis, the nature of royalty deduction from running bills, or the genuineness of the joint venture arrangement and subcontracting arrangement.
