Bot Summary: This appeal has been filed raising the following substantial question of law: Whether under the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in canceling the penalty levied under 3 Section 271(1)(c) overlooking the provisions of the Act and even when all the ingredients are satisfied for levy of penalty under Section 271(1)(c) of the I.T.Act in the case of assessee 3. The Tribunal has allowed the appeal filed by the assessee holding the notice issued by the Assessing Officer under Section 274 read with Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 to be bad in law as it did not specify which limb of Section 271(1)(c) of the Act, the penalty proceedings had been initiated i.e., whether for concealment of particulars of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income. The Tribunal, while allowing the appeal of the assessee, has relied on the decision of the Division Bench of this Court rendered in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs- Manjunatha Cotton and Ginning Factory 359 ITR 565. In our view, since the matter is covered by the Division Bench of this Court, we are of the opinion, no substantial question of law arises in this appeal for determination by this Court.
