Sugla, J.1. The Tribunal has referred as many as five questions of law in this case at the instance of the Revenue. However, the main question of law revolves round the powers of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner in appeal against the order of assessment and the powers of the Commissioner under section 263 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.2.
