What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the composite rental income should be treated as 'Income from Other Sources', following its own consistent decisions in the assessee's own cases for earlier assessment years. Other grounds related to adjustments from intimation u/s 143(1) were dismissed, and penalty proceedings were deemed premature.
