What did the High Court hold?

The Delhi High Court held that the questions of law raised in the present appeals were identical to those decided in its recent judgment dated March 5, 2015, in ITA Nos. 220/2007 and 232/2007. Since the Revenue did not dispute that the issues were covered by the previous decision, the High Court followed its earlier judgment. Consequently, the appeals filed by the Revenue were dismissed. The ratio decidendi is that where identical issues have been decided in prior appeals, subsequent appeals raising the same questions will be decided in conformity with the precedent. The operative direction was the dismissal of the Revenue's appeals.

The Revenue argues that these deductions were incorrectly granted.
