What were the facts?

The appeals before the Delhi High Court involve the Commissioner of Income Tax (Revenue) as the appellant and Delhi Public School (Assessee) as the respondent. The assessment years are not explicitly stated in the provided excerpt. The appeals challenge orders passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). The procedural history indicates that these are appeals filed by the Revenue against the ITAT's decisions. The specific amounts in dispute are not mentioned in this portion of the judgment.

What were the issues?

1. Whether the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal erred in holding that the assessee, Delhi Public School, is entitled to exemption under Section 10(23C)(vi) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment years in question. Assessee's Contention: The assessee argues that it is an educational institution existing solely for educational purposes and not for profit. It contends that its income is applied for the objects for which it was established and that it fulfills all the conditions stipulated under Section 10(23C)(vi) for claiming exemption. The assessee likely relies on its charitable character and the nature of its educational activities. Revenue's Contention: The Revenue likely contends that the assessee does not satisfy the conditions for exemption under Section 10(23C)(vi). This could be due to allegations of the institution functioning for profit, or that its income is not solely applied for educational purposes, or that it fails to meet the specific requirements of the section as interpreted by the Revenue.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
