The question of law framed is common to the question framed and answered in ITA 159 & 326/2010 by judgement delivered on 21.12.2016. The Court had in the said common judgment answered the question in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
Accordingly, following the reasoning in that judgment, all the appeals have to be and are, therefore, dismissed.
