Issues:
1. Disallowance of procurement expenses and computer expenses.
2. Disallowance of commission payment.
3. Appeal against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals).
4. Justification of 10% disallowance.
5. Validity of tribunal's decision on disallowances.

Analysis:
1. The respondent, engaged in stock broking operations, had its procurement expenses disallowed by the assessing officer as nongenuine. Additionally, the capital expenditure on computer software was also disallowed. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) deleted both disallowances in an order dated 7th October, 2005.

2. The Revenue challenged the Commissioner's order before the tribunal. The tribunal found that the disallowances could not be sustained. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed, and the tribunal deleted the 10% disallowance made by the Commissioner, stating there was no justification for such a disallowance.

3. The tribunal's decision was based on the finding that the earlier order of 30th December, 2005, which allowed the appeal and set aside the first appellate authority's order, was violated. The tribunal concluded that the disallowances made by the assessing officer could not be justified.

4. The High Court, in its judgment, declined to re-evaluate the factual matters, stating that its appellate jurisdiction did not permit such a review. The court found no perversity or error of law in the concurrent orders. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and no costs were awarded.

This comprehensive analysis covers the issues related to the disallowance of expenses, challenges to the Commissioner's order, the 10% disallowance, and the validity of the tribunal's decision on the disallowances.
