The Tribunal, upon appreciation of the material on record, concurred with the findings of fact recorded by the Commissioner (Appeals). Thus, the conclusion arrived at by the Tribunal is purely based upon the concurrent findings of fact recorded after appreciation of the material on record and hence, in the absence of any perversity being pointed out therein, the same does not give rise to any question of law.
