2. The following questions have been referred to this court by the Tribunal :

'1. Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was legally correct in holding that the share income from the firm M/s. Gordhan Dass Mahender Kumar should not be computed in the hands of the assessee ?

2. Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was legally correct in observing that the share income from M/s. Sisona Gur and Khandsari Udyog in the names of Shyamlal Surender Kumar and Jitender Kumar, Smt. Vidya Devi cannot be considered as income in the hands of the assessee

3. Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was legally correct in holding that the interest income from the firm M/s. Gordhandas Mahender Kumar in the name of Shyamlal Surender Kumar and in the name of Jitender Kumar Vidya Devi cannot be included in the hands of the assessee ?'

3. The assessee is a Hindu Undivided Family and it consists of its karta Shri Shyamlal, his wife Smt. Vidya Devi and his two sons, Surender Kumar and Jitender Kumar.
