Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-19-2005

Reported in: (2006)101TTJ(Kol.)258

1. The assessee moved the present miscellaneous petition under Section 254(2) against the order passed in ITA No. 1109/Cal/2001 for the asst.yr. 1997-98 by the Tribunal 'E' Bench, Kolkata, vide its order dt. 28th Feb., 2002.2. The contention of the assessee is that the mistakes are in the nature of wrong recording of facts, applicable dates, non-consideration of the relevant evidence produced in the appellate proceedings. Also, on certain issues the order suffers from non-application/not noticing, the decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and of jurisdictional and other High Courts. It is mentioned that in para 2 of the order, the date of notice under Section 142(1) has wrongly been recorded as 24th Aug., 1997, whereas the correct date of notice is 24th Aug., 1998. The order of the AO as well as the CIT(A) correctly records the date as 24th Aug., 1998. However, the Tribunal has committed mistake in recording date as 24th Aug., 1997. Consequently this mistake is apparent on record whi...
