2 JUDGMENT
This appeal is filed by the revenue under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 challenging the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal dated 08.06.2012 in ITA No.156/PNJ/2011. 2. The substantial question of law that arises for consideration in this appeal is as under: “Whether the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is justified in holding that registration u/S 12AA of the Income Tax Act can be granted when the purpose of the respondent-assessee is not only for charitable purpose but also for religious purpose?” 3. Learned counsel appearing for the assessee submits that the issue involved in this appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Dawoodi Bohara Jamat in Civil Appeal No.2492 and 2571 of 2014, disposed of on 20th February, 2014.
3 4. Learned counsel, Sri.Y.V.Raviraj, appearing for the revenue does not dispute the same. 5. In view of the aforesaid, we are of the considered view that the substantial question of law deserves to be answered in favour of the assessee and against the revenue and is answered accordingly. Accordingly, appeal stands dismissed.
