The Tribunal's exercise in upholding the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and his estimation cannot be interfered with by us at the behest of the Revenue without any perversity being demonstrated.

..... se reasons, he submits that the appeal be admitted. 3. Upon a careful reading of the order passed by the Tribunal and that of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), we are unable to agree with Mr. Pinto. In this case, on the own saying of the Revenue, the assessee is a contractor and undertaking works for public body, namely, the municipal corporation. A return of income for the assessment year 2007-08 was filed by him on October 31, 2007, declaring a net taxable income of ₹ 1,39,64,580.

..... imation of net profit rate of 8 per cent. is justified. 8. We do not find any reason to entertain this appeal, when pure findings of fact are being assailed by the Revenue. This court cannot reappreciate and reappraise the said findings of fact. The Tribunal's exercise in upholding the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and his estimation cannot be interfered with by us at the behest of the Revenue without any perversity being demonstrated. The Revenue's estimation on the higher side and based on the Assessing Officer's order was rightly termed as abnormal and unreasonable. In these circumstances, this appeal does not raise any substantial question of law. It is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. - - TaxTMI .....
