The Revenue has challenged this direction in those years as well as in these years before us. In our separate order of date, we have thoroughly considered this issue. The CWT (Appeals) granted the exemption under s. 5(1) (xii) which prima facie would not be available to the assessee. However, the assessee's representative claimed that he was entitled to exemption in relation to these coins under s. 5(1)(xii) of the WT Act.
