There are three questions of law referred to us for opinion which are as under :\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;(1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the entire probate court fee of Rs. 8,42,709.50 is deductible under section 50 of the Estate Duty Act, 1953, from the estate duty payable and not only so much of it as is relatable to the properties or portions thereof actually brought to tax under the provisions of the Estate Duty Act, 1953 ?\n<\/p>\n<p> (2) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that relief under section 50 of the Estate Duty Act, 1953, has to be allowed if court fees are paid in respect of the property which is exempt from payment of estate duty under section 33 of the Estate Duty Act, 1953 ?\n<\/p>\n<p> (3) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal erred in law in allowing relief under section 50 of the Estate Duty Act, 1953, in respect of certain items of property which were not charged to estate duty under the provisions of the Estate Duty Act, 1953 ?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.

Ramasarma (1990) 186 ITR 490 (Bom) which we have heard and disposed of today are identical. Following our decision in that case, we answer the first question in the affirmative and in favour of the accountable person.
