Whether the Tribunal was justified in law in not passing a speaking order in relation to the contention of the appellant regarding the issue of capital receipt on the facts and circumstance of the case ?   3, Whether the Tribunal was justified in law in not holding that consent cannot confer jurisdiction and a mere admission cannot be held against the appellant ?" as questions that arise from out of the order dated July 21, 2008, passed by the Income tax Appellate Tribunal, Bangalore Bench in I.
