Bot Summary: The Court : Mr. Sinha, learned advocate appearing for the appellant has submitted that the appeal was admitted. Mrs. Nilanjana Banerjee, learned advocate appearing for the respondent/assessee. Be that as it may, we have borrowed the paper book of Mr. Sinha from which it appears that the following question was admitted: Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case the Tribunal was justified in law in holding that the assessment under section 143(3)/263 are infructuous since the order under section 263 passed by the C.I.T.Central-I was earlier quashed by I.T.A.T. in I.T.A.Nos. 734 and 735 when the said order under section 263 is based on the ratio of the case of Jorehat Group Ltd.(226ITR 622) Mr. Sinha did not dispute that the exercise under section 143(3) pursuant to an order passed under section 263 can have no further life once the order section 263 is itself vacated by the higher forum. Mr. Sinha has not also disputed that the order under section 263 was set aside by an order dated 11th October, 2002. The earlier order under section 143(3)/263 was passed on 5th February, 2002. Since the order under section 263 was subsequently knocked out by the order dated 11th October, 2002 the order dated 5th February, 2002 can no longer have any force.
