S.B. Sinha, C.J. 1. The question which has been raised in this appeal under Section 260A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act'), is the interpretation of 'royalty' as envisaged under Explanationn 2 appended to Section 9(1) of the Act.

Vijay Kumar Talwar Vs. Cit

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Dec-21-2001

Reported in: [2002]123TAXMAN181(Delhi)

The learned counsel for the appellant has taken us through the purported question of law as specified in the memo of appeal as also the various documents filed therein. The learned counsel upon a query could only state that the substantial question of law which may arise for consideration of this court would be as to whether the order passed by the Tribunal is perverse insofar as it fails to take into consideration the relevant facts and based its decision on irrelevant factors not germane for the purpose of passing the said order. We have, as noticed above, been taken through various documents including the extracts from books of account. To us it appears that the findings recorded by the Commissioner as also the Tribunal are pure findings of fact. Appreciation of evidence does not fall within the realm of this Court's jurisdiction under section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Tribunal had on earlier occasion remitted the matter for reassessment. The Commissioner in such reasses...
