88. Coral Hub has been ordered to be excluded on ground of functional dis-similarity by the coordinate Bench of the Tribunal in taxpayer's own case for AY 2008-09. The relevant findings returned by the coordinate Bench of the Tribunal are reproduced as under :-

"12.2. Having heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record, we find from the Annual report of this company that it is mainly engaged in e-publishing business. It has more than 10,000 classic books to its credit which are also converted into large font titles for visually challenged. Apart from e-publishing, this company is also engaged in Documents scanning & Indexing. It can be seen from the financial results of this company that both the segments viz., e-publishing and Documents scanning etc. have been combined and there are no separate financial results in respect of Documents scanning work, which may be comparable with the assessee to some extent. As the assessee is not engaged in any e-publishing business and the financials given by this company are on consolidated basis, we direct to exclude this company from the list of comparables. The assessee succeeds."
