J U D G M E N T
In this appeal, the following two substantial questions of law have been raised: 1. Whether the Tribunal was correct in not appreciating that the dominant object of the assessee was letting out building and providing furniture and fittings and other facilities for better utilization of the building and to get higher rents, the same constitutes the part of the building and any amount received towards such facilities constitutes income from building liable for tax under the head income from House Property?
Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is right in directing the
assessing officer to recompute disallowance using the ratio Rs.2,40,59,055; Rs.2,96,55,774, which worked out to Rs.2,64,174/- assessee company got relief of Rs.98,580/- even when the director’s duties are apportioned over the entire business of the assessee and the expense claimed on director’s remuneration have to be calculated on pro-rata basis, i.e., 3,30,36,912 : 4,37,14,829, accordingly Rs.3,62,754/- was rightly disallowed and added back to total income by the assessing authority?
Heard Sri E I Sanmathi, learned counsel appearing for the appellants as well as Sri A Shankar and Sri M Lava, learned counsel appearing for the respondent.
Learned counsel for the parties do not dispute the fact that the first question of law is covered by the decision of this Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax - vs - Velankani Information Systems (P) Ltd. in ITA Nos.374 & 375 of 2011 and 273 to 276 of 2012, as also the decision in Commissioner of Income Tax - vs - M/s.K.R.S. Enterprises P. Ltd., in ITA No.305 of 2012, wherein the said question has been decided in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that the appellants are not pressing the second question of law.
As such, the appeal stands dismissed as we are of the opinion that no question of law arises for determination by this Court.
