The substantial questions of law at paragraph 4 and 5 of the appeal memo are taken up for consideration. This Court in ITA No.196/2008 disposed off on 6-7-2010 has answered the second question of law against the revenue. It is submitted that the Hon'ble Supreme Court in CIT V/S SURESH GUPTA reported in 297 ITR 322 held that the revenue is entitled to levy surcharge under Section 113 of the Act and such levy has been upheld. Since the second question of law is answered against the revenue, the first question of law is not necessary to be answered. In that view of the matter, the appeals are dismissed.
