2019 (7) TMI 1980 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURTReopening of assessment u/s 147 - assessment made on protective basis - Substantial question of law - HELD THAT:- Undoubtedly, the court has to consider as to whether a substantial question of law arises in the context of reasoning of the ITAT in holding the deletion of protective assessment. What is apparent is that the AO in this case proceeded, without furnishing any reasoning and added amounts to assessee’s account imposing tax on it purely on protective basis after the substantive additions in respect of each amount which were made at third parties’ end. CIT(A) in our opinion, was correct in his analysis noticing that as against documentary evidence available, only some additions could be sustained even in respect of such third parties. Consequently, in the absence of any reason to involve the present assessee, which had sold the lands to the third party and against whom there was no allegation of withholding material or suppression of facts, nor was anything incriminating recorded, no protective assessment could have been made. No substantial question of law arises.
