Decided on: Jan-29-1990

ORDERPer Bench - This is an appeal by the revenue which is directed against the order of the CIT (A) wherein he held that the assessee who designed, manufactured and erected the cyclone system was eligible for deduction u/s 80HH as the activity of the assessee amounted to manufacture as the end-product was different from the raw materials used. Reliance was placed on the decision of the Orissa High Court in the case of CIT v. N. C. Budharaja & Co. [1980] 121 ITR 213.
