What did the High Court hold?

The High Court admitted the appeal on substantial questions of law. However, the provided text only contains the order admitting the appeal and framing the questions of law. It does not contain the Tribunal's decision or the High Court's findings on these issues. Therefore, what the Tribunal decided, the reasoning, the ratio, and the operative directions are not recorded in this excerpt. The judgment does not provide any information on whether the ITAT's deletions were upheld or reversed, nor does it mention any specific amounts that were ultimately confirmed or deleted by the Tribunal. The issues of capital contribution and brokerage payment were raised as substantial questions of law for the High Court's consideration.
