The High Court of Karnataka, in view of its earlier decision in the case of FATHIMA BAI VS. INCOME TAX OFFICER, (2009) 32 DTR (KAR) 243, answered the framed question of law in favour of the assessee. The Tribunal's holding that the deposit of Rs. 5,00,000/- made by the appellant in a bank account before the due date for filing the return of income is not eligible for deduction under Section 54 of the Act was found to be unjustified. The ratio decidendi is that deposits made before the due date for filing the return of income are eligible for deduction under Section 54, as per the precedent set by the High Court. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, implying relief for the assessee.

Following this precedent, the Court held that the question of law framed at the time of admitting the appeal, which asked whether the Tribunal was justified in holding the capital gains arising out of the sale of the residential house of the respondent-assessee as long-term capital gains, was answered against the revenue. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed. No other issues were decided, and no specific relief was granted or denied beyond the dismissal of the appeal.
