Rules was not sustainable?" (ii) "Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law the Tribunal was right in law in coming to the conclusion that the assessee was entitled to full standard deduction of Rs.3,500/ u/s.16(i) of the I.T. Act, 1961 as against Rs.1,000/-?" 2. We have heard Mr. Akil Qureshi learned counsel for the revenue. Though served, none appears for the respondent-assessee. 3. Having regard to the smallness of the amounts involved and considering the fact that for the assessment years 1975-76 to 1979-80, the Tribunal had already decided the issues involved in favour of the assessee, we decline to answer the questions referred to us. 4. The Reference accordingly stands disposed of with no order as to costs. (M.S. Shah,J) (D.A. Mehta,J) zgs/-
