The Court set aside the Guwahati High Court's order and remitted the matter to the Income Tax Tribunal for fresh decision, finding that the Tribunal had failed to identify specific plant and machinery items installed in the hospital and analyze their processes and outputs—criteria essential for determining industrial undertaking status. The appeal was allowed with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
