What were the facts?

The Revenue, represented by the Commissioner of Income Tax, filed five appeals before the Delhi High Court against the orders of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). The appeals concern assessment years not explicitly stated in the provided text. The core of the dispute revolves around the tax treatment of certain income or activities of the respondent, Delhi Public School. The ITAT had passed orders in favor of the assessee, Delhi Public School, which the Revenue is challenging. The procedural history indicates that the ITAT orders are the subject of the present appeals before the High Court.

What were the issues?

1. Whether the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal erred in holding that the income derived by the assessee, Delhi Public School, from its various activities is exempt from tax under Section 11 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as income of a charitable institution. The Revenue likely argued that the activities of the school were not purely charitable or that certain incomes were not applied for charitable purposes. The Assessee would have contended that it is a recognized charitable institution and its income is applied for the advancement of education, thus qualifying for exemption under Section 11. 2. Whether the ITAT was justified in deleting the additions made by the Assessing Officer to the total income of the assessee. The Revenue's contention would be that the Assessing Officer correctly identified taxable income, while the Assessee would argue that the additions were unwarranted and based on misinterpretations of facts or law.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
