HC dismissed the revenue's appeal and affirmed the Tribunal's determination that income arising from the sale of software to a UK resident does not constitute "royalty" under the Income Tax Act or the India-UK DTAA. The court held that post-sale support services rendered by the respondent assessee did not effect a transfer of any right in the copyrighted article and therefore did not attract royalty characterization.
