               " Delay condoned. Leave granted.

               M/s Gujarat Ambuja Cement Ltd. entered into a contract with M/s  Sirmour Truck Operators Union, the respondent herein. Respondent assessee is a  society. Its members consist of truck operators. The question which arose before the  High Court in the Income Tax Appeals under Section 260A was whether assessee was  liable or not liable to deduct TDS under Section 194 C of the Income Tax Act.

               In our view, the afore-stated question is a substantial question of  law. The High Court ought to have decided the said question. It ought not to have  dismissed the appeals summarily.
