An appeal against that order was filed by the assessee before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner who decided it on 28-11-1945. An appeal under Section 33, Income-tax Act, was filed before the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal.2. The appeal involved consideration of several items about which the assessee had raised objections. The Tribunal dealt with each item separately. As regards the first item of Rs. 12,046 it held that the income from grazing fees was exempt from income-tax.
