We have heard both the parties at length in respect of the grounds raised and coming straightaway to ground No. 1, it is an accepted position between the parties that the CIT(A) in the year under consideration followed the order passed by his predecessor for the asst. yr. 1990-91. It is also an accepted position between the parties that the Revenue although filing second appeal to the Tribunal for asst. yr. 1990-91, accepted the order of the CIT(A) vis-a-vis the point at issue raise....
