Date Of Judgment: 23/02/2007.

Dear all,
On verification by having a look-up in the website of the H'ble Supreme Court of India, it seems that the judgement dated 23.02.2007 regards to case no.: Appeal (civil) 919 of 2007 is related to claiming exemption by a trust hospital in Andhra Pradesh.
Anyone please confirm this.
