Decision The court held that the order of the Tribunal was vitiated by the failure to consider and decide all questions relating to the taxability of a certain sum. The Judicial Member left several questions undecided, which were then addressed by the Accountant Member. The court directed the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal to draw up a statement of the case and refer the questions of law for the opinion of the court. The petition was allowed in part, and the assessee was entitled to costs, assessed at Rs. 200.
