Whether the revenue must follow a binding ITAT Special Bench ruling on the tax rate applicable to capital gains computed under Section 50 and chargeable under Section 112: the court held that the Commissioner erred by refusing to apply the ITAT Special Bench decision, improperly treating it as non-final because the department contests it and one member dissented; administrative disagreement does not permit disregard of a binding tribunal decision.
