Penalty - concealment of income - fact that the assessee had been guilty of concealment in past years cannot lead to the inference that he is guilty of concealment in the year in dispute. The past record of the assessee was not relevant for the purpose of deciding as to whether there has been such concealment as to warrant imposition of penalty. As has been seen, penalty proceedings being quasi-criminal in nature, the facts necessary to attract the penal provision of section 271 of the Act must be clearly proved in respect of each year.

This is not a case where there is such dearth of material. The document has used the word "kalakshepam" which definitely and undisputedly indicated the purpose of the gift. The donor at that time was advanced in age. His son was studying in an important college in the city of Madras. The word has been understood by the Tribunal as including not only the general needs of the son but also his educational needs. We are not prepared to say that the meaning attributed to the word in the context in which it was used in the document and in the circumstances in which the document was executed is wrong and we have not been shown any decisive meaning of the word "kalakshepam" which compel us to take a different view. - Answered in favor of assessee
