Chief Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Mysore Sales International Ltd. on 16 March, 1991
4. Counsel for the Revenue submitted that the words "branch, office or agency" found in section 35B(I)(b)(iv) have to be read and understood by applying the principle "ejusdem generis" and as the agency here was not an agency wholly owned and maintained by assessee, the expenditure would not qualify for weighted deduction. Counsel relied on the decision of the Karnataka High Court in the case of Chief CIT v. Mysore Sales International Ltd. (1992) 195 ITR 457 (Kar).
