Issues:
- Whether the Tribunal was justified in excluding deemed Capital Gain Income of the Trust from Total Income without the Trust claiming such exclusion in its Return of Income and without filing a Revised ReturnRs.

Analysis:
1. The appeal involved a substantial question of law regarding the exclusion of deemed Capital Gain Income by the Tribunal without the Trust claiming such exclusion in its Return of Income for Assessment Year 2008-09.

2. The Appellant's counsel argued that as per the judgment in Goetze India Limited vs. Commissioner of Income Tax, the Assessee cannot raise an additional claim without filing a revised return. The counsel contended that the Tribunal and Commissioner (Appeals) erred in not considering this aspect, leading to an erroneous conclusion.

3. The Respondent's counsel cited the judgment in Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Pruthvi Brokers and Shareholders P. Ltd., where it was established that the Assessee can raise additional claims without filing a revised return, as observed by the Apex Court in the Goetze India Limited case.

4. The Court noted that the genuineness and nature of the transactions were not disputed by the Revenue. The Assessee trust was enjoying exemption under Section 11(1B) of the Act, and the Assessing Officer accepted the claim made by the Appellant during Assessment without any adverse findings.

5. Referring to the judgment in Goetze India Limited, the Court reiterated that Assessees can raise additional claims before Appellate Authorities without filing revised returns, as established in the Pruthvi Brokers case. The Court emphasized that the Revenue did not suggest any deliberate omission or malafide intent in this case.

6. Considering the above, the Court concluded that no substantial question of law arose in the present appeal. The appeal was dismissed with no costs incurred.
