Issues involved: Appeal by revenue for assessment year 2007-08 regarding disallowance under section 80IB and 80IB(10) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Disallowed deduction under section 80IB: The High Court considered whether the Tribunal was correct in allowing the appeal of the assessee and deleting the disallowance under section 80IB on the sale proceeds of stilt parking. The Court analyzed the facts and circumstances of the case along with the legal provisions to determine the correctness of the Tribunal's decision.

Disallowance under Section 80IB(10): The Court examined whether the Tribunal was justified in deleting the disallowance under Section 80IB(10) on common expenses related to two projects, Poisar Project and Saki Naka Project. The revenue contended that the expenses were debited to Saki Naka Project with the intention to suppress its profit, thereby increasing the profit of Poisar Project. The Court compared this issue with a similar question raised in a previous appeal and decided not to entertain it based on the reasons provided in the earlier order.

Admission of the appeal: The Court admitted the appeal on question (a) regarding the disallowance under section 80IB, indicating that further consideration and analysis would be undertaken on this specific issue.
