The Tribunal also found no infirmity in the Commissioner's decision, stating that the assessee was entitled to the deduction under Section 10-A. The Tribunal emphasized that the company was an independent unit, not a restructured entity, and confirmed the Commissioner's order.Conclusion:The High Court dismissed the appeal, stating that no substantial questions of law were involved, and they could not interfere with the concurrent findings of fact recorded by the lower courts. The judgment highlights the importance of factual considerations in tax appeals and the limitations of the High Court in reviewing such matters.
