1. The question referred to us under section 27 of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, read thus :
“(1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law in confirming the orders of the first appellate authority who directed the Wealth-tax Officer to value the unquoted equity shares held by the assessee by adopting only the yield method ?
(2) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law in holding that rule 1D of the Wealth-tax Rules, 1957, is not mandatory ?”
