2003 (8) TMI 11 - HC - Income TaxReference to HC - Held that it is not mandatory for this court when once it is made that it may not proceed to answer the question or questions stated in the reference and to decide it though the same may be of purely academic interest and unnecessary to decide the real controversy - In such circumstances where the question is only academic or is unnecessary or it does not completely resolve the controversy, this court may ultimately refuse to answer the question or questions. - Held that it is not necessary to answer the questions referred by the Tribunal for our opinion because the answer to these questions will be purely academic and it may be an exercise in futility to answer these questions and remit the case back to the Tribunal. We, therefore, decline to answer the questions referred by the Tribunal
