Evaluate Expression within awk

I want to create a conditional expression string and pass in an awk script. My script is as below...

Code:
comm="\$3 == "hello"" 

awk -F "^T" -v command="${comm}" ' {

     if ( command )   {     print "hye"   } 
}' test

But the statement "if ( command )" always evaluates to true which is not correct. I want to know the correct way of executing this statement..
On Running...

Code:
./test_awk.sh
hye ( not correct )

Test file has following ( just a sample )

Code:
hello^Thye^Tbye

Please help....
