The learned counsel for the assessee has vehemently argued that there was no material before the revenue authorities to levy the penalty of Rs. 72,634. The assessee had filed the return of income on 5-8-1980 declaring the total income at Rs. 18,02,130. However, the assessee subsequent to the date of filing the original return, realised that a genuine and bona fide mistake had been committed and, therefore, sought to rectify the said mistake by filing a revised return on 9-12-1981 declaring the total income at Rs. 18,99,910. Since the revised return was filed there was no justification for the revenue authorities to initiate and impose penalty under section 271(1) (c). Reliance, in this connection, has been placed on the decision...
