1. This is an appeal by the assessee against the order of the AO under Section 158BC arising out of search and seizure proceedings.2. A preliminary objection about the validity of the assessment under Chapter XIV-B was raised by the assessee by way of the following two questions : "1. That the provisions of Section 158BA of IT Act, 1961 were not applicable in this case because the requisition under Section 132A was made much before 30th June, 1995. The invoking of the provisions of Chapter XIV-B of the IT Act in the facts of this case is ab witio wrong, illegal and without jurisdiction, and the assessment framed under Chapter XIV-B is a nullity and liable to be quashed. 2. That the conditions precedent for initiating action under Section 132 or 132A did not exist and were not satisfied. Therefore, the issuance of Warrant of Authorisation under Section 132A and all proceedings taken and order passed in pursuance thereof are wrong, illegal and bad-in-law." 3.
