Both sides agreed that the issues were covered in favor of the assessee by the decision in the mentioned case. Consequently, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal on merits and dismissed the revenue's appeals as infructuous. The respondent's advocate highlighted a Supreme Court decision confirming the Tribunal's order based on the Jayant Agro Organics case. The High Court noted that since the Supreme Court confirmed the Tribunal's decision in the Jayant Agro Organics case, there was no infirmity in the Tribunal's application of its earlier decision to the present case. Therefore, the appeal did not raise a substantial question of law and was dismissed accordingly.
