The Revenue is in appeal against the order of the Tribunal whereby the learned tribunal has set aside the penalty levied under Section 271(1)(c) by holding that the Assessing Officer did not record his satisfaction. Section 271(1)(b) was introduced by Finance Act, 2008 with effect from 1.4.1989. We are concerned with the Assessment year previous to the amendment. The law as settled before he amendment can be reflected in the judgment of this court in CIT Vs. Kanzibhai (1991) 189 ITR 41. . Considering the above, in our opinion, the question of law as framed would not arise. Consequently, appeal dismissed. . Notice waived on behalf of Respondents.
