Bot Summary: | CORAM : S.V. GANGAPURWALA AND G.S. KULKARNI, JJ. DATE : 7 JUNE, 2017 PER COURT : The Revenue assails the order of the Tribunal thereby allowing the appeal of the Assessee and dismissing the appeal of the Revenue. The Assessing Officer, after detail analysis and bringing the evidence/ material on record, rejected the books of accounts of the assessee and estimated the profits and said additions had been partly sustained by the Tribunal. In view of that the Tribunal was not justified in deleting the penalty imposed under Section 271 1(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It has been observed by the Tribunal that the impugned assessment was the second round of assessment. In the first round, the CIT had set aside the assessment to be done de novo. In the regular assessment, the findings were based on the findings for the Assessment Year 1994 1995 wherein the books of accounts were rejected and average rate of 3 of net sales and other income was applied. 4 The reason given by the Tribunal is a plausible one. |
