Finally, on 10.4.2015, the AO and AR came to my office and the case was heard and discussed with them. 2. The Indian Director Sh.

As dispute grew, they could not do anything in business, then the other director Raj Kumar Arora returned back money of Rs. 1,69,00,000/- through SBI of Patiala, and settled the case through Delhi High Court, the police case is closed now.
