The Tribunal in its impugned order has held as under:

“41. Considering the above facts and case laws, there is no applicability of doctrine of diversion of income by overriding title in this case. This plea of diversion of
2021:DHC:2102-DB ITA226/2020 income by overriding title was admittedly raised by the assesse before the High Court. Once the order is passed by the High Court in a matter, the said pleading cannot be entertained afresh by the Hon'ble Tribunal. Moreover, the plea of the assessee with regard to diversion of income by overriding title also, assesse has no case.”
