June 20, 1962. Abeyestjndere, J.—
The present case purports to be a case stated under section 78 of theIncome Tax Ordinance. That section permits an appeal to the SupremeCourt on a question of law. The case stated to us does not specify aquestion of law on which the opinion of the Supreme Court is required.We therefore remit the case back to the Board of Review in order thatthe Board may amend the case stated so as to specify the question oflaw on which the opinion of the Supreme Court is required.
Herat, J.—I agree.’
Case sent back.
