1. This is an appeal by the Department against the order of the CIT(A) relating to asst. yr. 1989-90. 1.

The appeal pertains to the assessment completed under Section 147 on the return filed on 1st May, 1992. (iii) Having not invalidated the reopening proceedings, the assessment framed under Section 147 could not have been cancelled.

(v) The learned CIT(A) ignored the documents on record particularly the AO's letter dt. 2nd March, 1992 and the assessee's reply dt. 16th March, 1992 filed along with the return stating clearly that the impug...
