Analysis:

1. The judgment deals with an appeal against the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, which dismissed the appellant's appeal against the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) order for the assessment year 2009-2010.

2. The appellant raised several substantial questions of law, including the legality of orders, treatment of income from bank accounts, expenses under Section 43B, and classification of income as business income or capital gain.

3. Questions (i), (vi), and (vii) were deemed general and did not require consideration by the court.

4. The court decided against the appellant on questions (ii) and (iii) based on a previous judgment by a Division Bench of the same court.

5. Regarding question (iv), the Assessing Officer had disallowed certain expenses claimed by the appellant as business expenses under Section 43B. The CIT (Appeals) granted partial relief, directing a proportionate disallowance of interest payable under Section 43B.

6. The Tribunal noted the difficulty in separating interest payable for income eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(a)(i) and income not eligible, ultimately upholding the direction for a proportionate disallowance.

7. The appellant's challenge to the computation by the Assessing Officer was noted, with the court stating that any dispute in this regard should be separately challenged.

8. The court found the order of remand regarding the disallowance of expenses under Section 43B to be appropriate and not raising a substantial question of law.

9. Concerning question (v), the court upheld the assessment order, stating that the income from selling houses constructed by the appellant was rightly treated as income from business and profession due to the nature of the appellant's activities.

10. Ultimately, the court dismissed the appeal, concluding that it did not raise any substantial question of law based on the findings and decisions made throughout the judgment.
