Law: Income Tax Ordinance, 1979

Section: 12,12(18),66,66A,136,136(1)

(a) Income Tax Ordinance (XXXI of 1979)----S.136(1)---Order of Appellate Tribunal and Revising Authority remanding matter for fresh probe after setting aside assessment---Validity---No question would arise out of such order as consideration of facts of the case and a ruling thereupon by High Court would be out of place.
