CORAM : J.P. DEVADHAR AND M.S. SANKLECHA, JJ.
DATE : 23RD OCTOBER, 2012
PC:
Whether the ITAT was justified in deleting the penalty levied under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act,1961 in view of the additions made in the reassessment order for the Assessment Year 1995-96 is the question raised in this appeal.
2) It is not in dispute that the reassessment order made for the Assessment Year 1995-96 itself has been set aside by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal which has attained finality. Once the additions made in the reassessment order do not survive then sustaining the penalty on such additions made in the reassessment order does not arise. Accordingly the appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.
