But in other cases it is held that the assessment u/s. 153A can be made on the basis of the incriminating material which in the context of relevant provisions means books of account and other documents found in the course of search but not produced in the course of original assessment and undisclosed income or property disclosed during the course of search. In the present case, the assessment had been completed under summary scheme u/s. 143(1) and time limit for issue of notice u/s. 143(2) expired before the date of search. Therefore, there was no assessment pending in this case and in such a case there was no assessment pending in this case and in such a case there was no question of abatement. On the other hand learned Departmental Representative could not counter or rebut the contentions raised by learned AR and learned Departmental Representative could not differentiate the Judgments cited and relied upon by learned AR. Therefore considering the factual position as well as settled legal position, we hold that the additions could be made only on the incriminating material found during search and since no incriminating material found during search therefore additions made were unsustainable in the eyes of law. Accordingly we delete the additions - Decided in favour of assessee
