As rightly observed by the Tribunal, the doctors were not bound to prescribe the medicines as suggested by the assessee. As such there was no legal compulsion on the part of the doctors to prescribe a particular medicine suggested by the assessee, and therefore, the doctors could not be said to have acted as the agent of the assessee. - Provisions of Section 194H are not applicable - HC
