(1.) In this reference under Section 27(1) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, three questions have been referred to this court:
(2.) There is a slight mistake in question No. 2. The figure should be 22,440 shares of Rohtas Industries Ltd. and not 32,440 as is inadvertently stated in the said question.
(3.) In view of the decision of this court in the case of Commissioner of Wealth-tax v. Smt. Radha Debi M. Nopany, and in the case of Commissioner of Wealth-tax v. Mohan Lal Nopany, and the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Kishanlal Haricharan v. Income-tax Officer, the question No. 1 referred to this court must be answered in the negative and in favour of the revenue. We need not, therefore, discuss the facts relating to this question.
