Court : Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Patna

Reported in : (1998)64ITD93(Pat.)

..... i then see no reason why this tribunal in this case possessing powers 'to pass order as it thinks fit' under section 254 of the act, should not correct the order passed by the assessing officer which is erroneous on account of lack of or improper enquiry being conducted by the assessing officer. ..... however, it is not so, as will appear from the expression 'such orders thereon as it thinks fit' in section 254. ..... cit [1973] 88 itr 323 has held that if the ito fails to make proper enquiries then the order passed by him is erroneous causing prejudice to revenue and, therefore, commissioner can step in under section 263 of the act and correct such an order by setting aside the said assessment order with direction for redoing the assessment.11. ..... in the premises, if the tribunal came to the conclusion that the assessee has discharged the burden that lay on him, then it could not be said that such a conclusion was unreasonable or perverse or based on no evidence. ..... in view of the said position, the observation of the learned judicial member at the close of para-8 "by creditworthiness is meant that the lender is a man of means and not man of gross and/or that the evidence filed by the lender in support of the loans is not shame or created for the purpose or it is not a make believe arrangement between him and the assessee and further that such evidence is credible and cogent so as to make any prudent and reasonable man to accept it and believe the same to be true" pales into insignificance. .....

..... for reasons which have been set out earlier, the phrase "pass such order thereon" does not in any way restrict the jurisdiction of the tribunal but, on the contrary, confers the widest possible jurisdiction on the appellate tribunal including jurisdiction to permit any additional ground of appeal if, in it discretion, and for good reason, it thinks it necessary or permissible to do so. ..... , then also it cannot said the proceedings started under section 263 and order passed in consequence of these proceedings was illegal, void ab initio, as held by the following decisions: opportunity being heard not provided by cit - then the itat can remand the order to cit for fresh consideration (but itat cannot annulled the order passed by cit) even where the tribunal find that the assessee was not given reasonable opportunity of being heard, the tribunal would not be justified in holding that the order passed by cit was void ab initio ..... (4) for that the order passed is violative of principles of equity and natural justice and as such fit to be quashed. ..... (5) held cit disclosed basic grounds on which he though to fit revise the asstt order, the non disclosure of supporting material did not result in failure of natural justice the assessee is free to justify the original income assessed as correct in re asstt. .....
