Mr.Y.V.Raviraj, learned counsel for the Revenue. Mr.H.R.Kambiyavar, learned counsel for the assessee. 2. This appeal under Section 260 of the Income Tax Act (for short the ‘Act’) was admitted by an order dated 04.11.2015 on following substantial questions of law. (i) Whether the Tribunal is right in holding that the assessee was engaged in manufacture or production of an article or thing, and fulfilled the conditions laid down in Sections 10B(2)(ii) and 10B(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Act? (ii) Whether the Tribunal is right in holding that the loss should
3 be allowed at 3% of the total quantity and not on the quantity of wastage, as computed by the Assessing Authority? 3. When the matter was taken up today, learned counsel for the parties jointly submitted that the controversy involved in this appeal is squarely covered by a judgment dated 10.10.2018 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in I.T.A.No.100029/2014. 4. In view of the aforesaid submissions and for the reasons assigned in the aforesaid judgment, substantial question of law No.1 is answered against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. 5. Sofar as second substantial question of law is concerned after hearing learned counsel for the parties, the aforesaid substantial
4 question of law which has been framed by a bench of this Court is not a question of law, but is a question of fact as it pertains to the weight of loss on total quantity. Therefore, we are not inclined to answer the same. In the result, the appeal is dismissed.
