3 2. In this appeal, the following question of law arises for consideration of this Court: “Whether, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is right in law in holding that interest on fixed deposits representing compensation, pleaded against bank guarantee given to KIADB pending resolution of dispute over title of land, is taxable in the respective years when such interest was credited by bank in its books?”

Accordingly, for the reasons given in the aforesaid judgment in the case of M.Shivanna V/S
