COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX Vs. SARITA AGGARWAL

Decided On December 05, 2000
COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX Appellant
V/S
SARITA AGGARWAL Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The High Court rejected the application of the Revenue to call for a reference of two questions on the ground that no question of law arose. The tribunal, in the Revenue's application under section 256 (1) of the Income-tax Act, had noted that the questions were covered against the Revenue by its earlier decisions, particulars whereof it gave. It also stated that reference applications against those decisions had been moved and had been rejected by the Tribunal. It would appear from a statement made by learned counsel for the Revenue before the tribunal that in respect of these question an application under Section 256 (2) had been moved but counsel for the Revenue cannot tell us what happened thereafter. And the assessee has filed an affidavit to state that it has no information in this behalf.

(2.) Having regard to the fact that, under these circumstances, the earlier decisions of the Tribunal on the same question remain unchallenged, these appeals and the special Leave Petitions are dismissed with costs.
