| Decision |
The court held that the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal's decision regarding the allowability of deductions for expenses related to the managing director's house was incorrect, as it ignored material facts relating to the business. Furthermore, the tribunal's ruling that the excess price realized by the assessee on sugar was not a revenue receipt was also deemed erroneous. Thus, the court directed the tribunal to re-evaluate these questions of law, ultimately favoring the revenue's stance in the matter. |
