The said amount has already been disallowed in the year in which provision was created therefore, the provisions written back cannot be charged to tax. It was further stated that the above amount is allowable while computing the taxable income as It was not claimed in the income tax return originally due to inadvertence. Such claim was not accepted by the Ld. assessing officer as according to him, even in the revised return filed by the assessee on 31/03/2008 this was not claimed. He further referred to the decision of Hon‟ble Supreme Court in case of Goetz India Ltd versus CIT 284 ITR 323 and submitted that no such claim can be entertained by him without their being revised return. The assessee contested the above finding of the Ld. AO before the Ld.
