Scholarship ad in Urdu does not mean it was intended for one community alone: Delhi High Court

However, the High Court said that a perusal of the paper-book revealed that both the Commissioner Income Tax (Appeal) and tribunal had given a concurrent finding that the benefit of the scholarship to the poor and needy students was not confined to students of a particular community.

The Bench said that examination of the list submitted by the Hamdard Foundation also showed that the benefit of the scholarship had gone to students from all communities without any discrimination.

“Moreover, just because advertisement was published in Urdu language and that too in one newspaper, it cannot be presumed that it was targeted at the students belonging to a particular community only. In fact, a similar finding of CIT(A) in the assessment year 2010-11 was accepted by the revenue and was not even challenged before the Tribunal,” the Court said.
