(2) Whether, on the facts and circumstances of the case, the direction of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal regarding ownership of this property is sustainable in law when the matter of the modified distribution including this property has been set aside by the Tribunal for fresh consideration by the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals) vis-a-vis the admission of the additional ground regarding the court order of the Second Civil Judge, Kanpur, dated May 22, 1984, in the subsequent assessment years ?

That question will arise after the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals) decides the issues remanded to him. This question cannot, therefore, be referred.
