The levy of penalty cannot be a matter of course. It can only be levied in cases where the concealment of income has been proven. If the quantum order itself has been challenged and the court has framed substantial questions of law in the appeal preferred by the assessee, it shows that the alleged concealment is not final and the issue is disputable. Consequently, the penalty levied by the Assessing Officer cannot survive in such a case. (Referred\u00a0 CIT v. Nayan Builders and Developers (2014) 368 ITR 722 (Bom)(HC)\u00a0 Gujarat CIT v.
