We have heard learned counsel for the appellant and find that the CIT Appeals, as also the Tribunal, have rightly held that the property of the assessee, which was declared at the value of Rs.13,85,000 for the wealth tax purposes, should have been valued in the composite manner and its evaluation by taking the land and building separately, was not warranted. We do not find any error in the said order, therefore, decline to answer the question formulated above. Dismissed.
