Analysis:
The appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was filed by the revenue challenging the order dated 30 August 2012 by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal for the Assessment Year 2008-09. The questions of law proposed for consideration revolved around the justification of the Tribunal in upholding the claim of the assessee for exemption under Section 10(10C) and whether partial satisfaction of Rule 2BA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 would entitle an assessee to relief under Section 10(10C). The Tribunal's decision was based on a previous case, and the revenue's appeal was dismissed as it was covered against them by a decision rendered by the Court in a similar case.

The revenue had appealed against this order to the Court, and the Court had already dismissed the appeal in the previous case. It was noted that the issues arising in the present appeal were covered against the revenue by the decision in the previous case. Therefore, it was concluded that no substantial question of law arose for consideration, leading to the dismissal of the appeal with no order as to costs.

In conclusion, the High Court dismissed the appeal filed by the revenue challenging the Tribunal's order regarding exemption under Section 10(10C) and the partial satisfaction of Rule 2BA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 for the Assessment Year 2008-09.
