Having regard to FAR analysis, assessee's claim to exclude said comparable from list of comparables

IT/ILT : Where TPO made addition to assessee's ALP in respect of export made to AE by applying internal CUP method, in view of fact that Tribunal in earlier year had made certain adjustment to price charged to third parties so as to make it comparable with price charged from AE, following said order of Tribunal, matter was to be remanded back for disposal afresh
IT/ILT : Where assessee can demonstrate that a particular concern is not includible on account of differences having regard to FAR analysis, assessee's claim to exclude said comparable from list of comparables cannot be shutout merely because at a certain point of time assessee itself has included it in list of comparables
