Issues Involved:
The valuation of assessee's properties and the substantial question of law under section 260A of the Income Tax Act.

Valuation of Assessee's Properties:
The appeal under section 260A of the IT Act was filed by the Revenue against the Tribunal's order regarding the valuation of the assessee's properties. The Tribunal accepted the valuation shown by the assessee, which was lower than the valuation made by the DVO. The Tribunal noted that a 10% difference in valuation by two valuers is usual and reasonable. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that the authorities accepting the assessee's valuation was not illegal or illogical.

Substantial Question of Law under Section 260A:
The High Court considered whether the appeal involved any substantial question of law as required under section 260A of the Act. After hearing the counsel for the appellant and examining the case record, it was concluded that the appeal had no merit and did not raise any substantial question of law. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed in limine as it failed to present any legal issue warranting further consideration.
