The Supreme Court examined whether shares received on amalgamation can be taxed as business income when held as stock-in-trade. It ruled that tax arises only if the substitution results in a real, commercially realizable gain, not a mere statutory replacement.

The Tribunal ruled that advisory and consultancy services could not be taxed as Fees for Included Services because no technical knowledge was transferred to clients.
The issue was whether renting out an auditorium made a theatre trust commercial in nature. The Tribunal held that such receipts did not defeat charitable status and upheld ex-emption under sections 11 and 12.
