....t Year 2008-09. 2. The Revenue urges the following reframed questions of law for our consideration : (i) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the sales tax exemption benefit for the A.Y. 2008-09 is a capital receipt not liable to income tax?

So far as the claim with regard....
