CIT [1986] 161 ITR 18, wherein, between the parties, these very questions were answered against the assessee relating to the assessment year 1970-71. Learned counsel for the assessee, however, on question No. 3, wanted us to review that decision on the basis of a decision of the Delhi High Court in Santlal Kashmirilal v. CIT [1986] 157 ITR 422. The earlier decision, referred to above, is based on a Full Bench decision of this court in CIT v. Khem Chand Bahadur Chand [1981] 131 ITR 336. It is not open to us to doubt the correctness of the Full Bench decision on the basis of a Division Bench decision of the Delhi High Court nor to seek a reference to a larger Bench on that ground. We being bound by the decision of the Full Bench, all the three questions are answered against the assessee and In favour of the Revenue.
