Colo Colour Pvt.Ltd1 in which in identical circumstances, the Court has upheld the orders passed by the Tribunal. In the said orders passed by this Court, it also considered the previous view taken by the Court in the case of Principal Commissioner of Income Tax-1 Vs. SVD Resins & Plastics Pvt.Ltd2 as also the view taken by the Gujarat High Court in Vijay Proteins Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax3, and in case of Commissioner of Income Tax Vs.
