Thus, it was of the view that penalty as imposed of ₹ 20 lakhs under Section 112(a) of the Act, is on the higher side. It is not the case where no reasons has been assigned for reduction of penalty. The view taken by the Tribunal in the facts of the present case, is a possible view and does not give rise to any substantial question of law - Appeal disposed off.
