" (1) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was justified in holding that no income accrued to the assessee under Section 41 (2) of the Income Tax Act in the Assessment Year 1970-71 1970-71 under Section 147 (a) of the Income Tax Act -
(2.) The High Court was right in coming to the conclusion that the parameters of Section 147 (a) of the Income Tax Act were satisfied for the purposes of reopening the assessment for the Assessment Year 1970-71.
(3.) It was also justified in coming to the conclusion that income had accrued to the assessee under Section 41 (2) of the Act in the Assessment Year 1970- 71. It is clear from the facts that the dispute before the District Judge, the High Court and this Court, in regard to the umpires' award, made a rule of the court, was restricted to an amount of Rs. 60. 000/- and to interest. Therefore, the balance of the amount awarded became due to the appellant when the award was made a rule of the Court within the previous year relevant to Assessment Year 1970-71.;
