The only question raised in this reference application at the instance of the Revenue reads thus :

“Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on a true interpretation of the provisions of s. 26 of the Act, the assessee was entitled to deduction of the interest paid by him on a loan raised by him for contributing his share of the price and cost of construction of the property in computing his income from the house property ?”

Accordingly, the question is so answered.

No order as to costs.
