....eved by the order of AO, assessee carried the matter before CIT(A) who deleted the addition by observing as under: "8.4 I have considered the facts of the case, finding of the AO, remand report and submissions of the appellant. The appellant has filed the ledger account of repair and maintenance and some of the supporting bills in respect of repair and maintenance expenses. The AO has made the disallowance without pointing any defects in the books of account and bills and vouchers maintained by the appellant. The expenses were incurred for business purposes and allowable as per the provisions of section 37(1), thus AO is not justified by making adhoc disallowance of the expenses at Rs.43,23,320/- i.e. 25% of repair and maintenance expenses. Thus addition made by the AO is hereby deleted." 29. Aggrieved by the order of CIT(A), Revenue is now before us. 30. Before us, Learned DR supported the order of AO.

Aggrieved by the order of CIT(A), Revenue is now before us. 36. Before us, Learned DR supported the order of AO. Learned AR on the other hand reiterated the submissions made before AO and CIT(A) and supported the order of CIT(A). 37. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. The issue in the present ground is with respect to the disallowance of royalty expenses made by AO but deleted by CIT(A). CIT(A) while deleting the addition has noted that AO had allowed royalty expenditure to 90% and disallowed 10%. He noted that the royalty payment made by assessee was not found to be bogus and since the assessee had furnished necessary evidence for making royalty payment, the adhoc disallowance could not be made. He thus deleted the addition made by AO. Before us, no fallacy in the findings of CIT(A) has been pointed out by Revenue. In such a situation, we find no reason to interfere with the order of CIT(A) and thus the ground of Revenue is dismissed. 38. ....
