..... ins that by the powers vested under Section 254(2) the Tribunal cannot look into some other circumstances to reconsider the matter or to review the matter. So long as the overall judgment of the Tribunal is based on proper logic, even if there is an error of judgment that by itself cannot give rise to exercise of powers under Section 254(2) of the Act. We find to be in consonance with the language of Section 80HH of the Income Tax Act, which enables claiming deduction in respect of profits and gains from newly established industrial undertaking or hotel business in backward areas, that no substantial question of law arises for determination and consideration in this Appeal.

By virtue of long drawn process of reasoning it could, no doubt, be argued that the ultimate decision was influenced by the assumption that the assessee maintained separate books of account in respect of its Medak unit but the chronology in which the issue was considered in para 7.2 of the order indicates that the Revenue has to prove that some expenditure was incurred by Medak unit and it cannot allocate some expenditure on estima .....
