The determinative issue was whether the Assessing Officer had made the enquiry required before the Principal Commissioner invoked revision under section 263. The High Court treated that enquiry question as a pure question of fact, and held that the Tribunal's finding on it could not be converted into a substantial question of law under section 260A.
