Judicial review of Tribunal reversal: High Court affirmation of tax assessment sustained, appeals dismissed by highest court.

Supreme Court review concerned a High Court reversal of ITAT findings and affirmation of Assessing Officer and Commissioner of Income Tax determinations; the Court found the High Court's legal conclusion supported by the record and endorsed its reasoning, resulting in dismissal of the civil appeals and sustaining the assessment. The operative legal point is that appellate fact-finding by the High Court and its application of law to sustain an assessment will be upheld where the record justifies the conclusion, leaving the tax assessment intact.
