The deceptive formulation of the question notwithstanding, what we are in fact called upon to answer is whether service of notice on the assessee under Section 139(2) wipes off the default committed by him in filing the return under Section 139(1) of the Act. There are divergent views expressed by two Division Benches of this court in Addl CIT v. Rampratap Shankarlal : [1979]117ITR662(MP) and Ckunnilal and Bros. v.

The facts giving rise to the present controversy are that th...
