2011 (8) TMI 1206 - HC - Income Tax

Summary

Issues involved:
1. Interpretation of exemption under Section 11 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for income earned from specific activities.
2. Alleged violation of provisions of Section 13 of the Income Tax Act and compliance with Section 11(4) requirements by a Trust.

Interpretation of exemption under Section 11:
The Revenue raised a question regarding the Tribunal's direction to allow exemption under Section 11 of the Income Tax Act for income earned from activities like providing food, liquor, and games. The Tribunal's decision was based on precedent from the assessee's previous cases, where the Revenue did not file appeals. The High Court found no evidence of the Tribunal's decision being contrary to the law. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed with no costs.

Alleged violation of Section 13 and Section 11(4) compliance:
The Revenue also questioned the Tribunal's decision regarding the alleged violation of Section 13 of the Income Tax Act and non-compliance with Section 11(4) requirements by the Trust. However, it was noted that this question did not arise from the Tribunal's order and hence could not be entertained by the Court.

Overall, the High Court's judgment focused on the interpretation of exemption under Section 11 of the Income Tax Act and the lack of grounds to challenge the Tribunal's decision based on past precedents.
