The applicant has moved this application under Section 256(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 proposing the following two questions for the decision of this Court: 1.

From the order made by the Tribunal on 8.4.96 rejecting the application which was made before it under Section 256(1) for referring the aforesaid two questions for the opinion of this Court, it transpires that earlier in the case of the assessee itself in respect of Assessment Years 1984-85 and 1985-86, the Tribunal has rejected such application for referring question No.1. It is stated by the learned Counsel for the applicant that thereafter, Income Tax Applications Nos. 50 and 51 of 1994 was made by the applicant before this Court for referring similar questions, but those applications were rejected by this Court on 4th April, 1994. We do not find any valid reason for taking a different view of the matter. This application is therefore, rejected. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. ---- */Mohandas
