Decided on: Feb-16-2010

Per: Mr P.G. Chacko 1. There is no representation for the respondent in this appeal filed by the Revenue. However, their written submissions are available on record, which says that they do not want to be personally heard and that the substantive issue involved in this case is the same as what was decided in appeal No. C/1274/02. The respondent would like to have this appeal disposed of in the same way. 2.
