53. This Court in Adityapur Industrial Area Development
Authority [Adityapur Industrial Area Development
Authority v. Union of India, (2006) 5 SCC 100] after considering
Section 10(20) as amended by the Finance Act, 2002 and
consequences of deletion of Section 10(20-A) has laid down the
following in para 13: (SCC p. 107)
―13. Applying the above test to the facts of the present
case, it is clear that the benefit, conferred by Section
10(20-A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on the assessee
herein, has been expressly taken away. Moreover, the
Explanation added to Section 10(20) enumerates the ―local
authorities‖ which do not cover the assessee herein.
Therefore, we do not find any merit in the submission
advanced on behalf of the assessee.‖
