He accordingly held as under: "3. Contentions raised by the assessee have been duly considered by me in the light of judgment (supra) of Hon. Gujarat High Court, it is very interesting to note that in the case before Hon. High Court of Gujarat, Hon. High Court was concerned with the issue of applicability of provisions relating to FBT enacted by the Legislature vide Finance Act, 2005 with effect from 1.4.2006 in case of three categories of assessees.
