2018 (9) TMI 1248 - HC - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 - undisclosed hawala trading - Held that:- We do not find that in this case there is any substitution of the views of the Assessing Officer, but there was a clear failure to abide by the statutory mandate and by making an estimate so also accepting a vague and general explanation of the assessee, the assessment has been made, then, it will undoubtedly be erroneous insofar it is prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue. It is erroneous insofar as the same is prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue because the Assessing Officer has failed to carry out his statutory obligation and duty and failed to discharge it by holding further probe and inquiry. More so, when the assessee virtually had no answer to his notice. Secondly, very reliable and genuine information was received from the VAT and Sales Tax authorities with regard to the operations with these dealers styled as 'hawala traders'. This certainly brought the matter within the purview of section 263. No error of law or perversity is committed either by the Commissioner or the Tribunal.
