The AO proceeded to initiate proceedings u\/s 147 of the Act and to issue notice u\/s 148 of the Act on the basis of information received from Investigation Wing of the department in the form of a CD prepared by Shri Sanjay Shah and Shri Vishesh Prakash, ITOs of Unit V, New Delhi. Subsequently, the AO reproduced details gathered from the CD and without application of independent mind, held that the assessee was beneficiary of accommodation entries amounting to Rs.4,51,000. In the main part of reason to believe, there is no mentioning of nature of transaction to establish and fortify the fact that the impugned transactions were in the nature of accommodation entries. We also observe that there is no mentioning of date therein and it can safely be presumed that the AO had not examined the assessment record of the assessee which was processed u\/s 143(1)(a) of the Act on 15.3.2005 for forming a belief that the income of the assessee had escaped assessment.<\/p>\n
There was no material on record to show that the AO had applied her independent mind in forming a belief which may result in the required reason to believe as per provisions of section 147 and 148 of the Act. We also held that the CIT(A) was right in following the ratio of the decision of apex court in the case of CIT vs Sun Engineering Works Pvt. Ltd. and the decision of Hon\u2019ble Jurisdictional High Court of Vipin Khanna vs CIT (supra), Amrinder Singh Dheeman vs ITO (supra) which have been fully reelucidated and affirmed by subsequent decision of Delhi High Court in the case of Jai Bharati Maruti Ltd. Vs CIT (supra). In this situation, the CIT(A) was justified and reasonable in quashing the notice u\/s 148 of the Act and entire reassessment proceedings conducted thereunder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
