2023 (6) TMI 226 - HC - Income TaxAssessment u/s 153A - Assessee claimed that the AO had not given copies of the seized materials extracted from the hard disk and the pen drive - violation of the principles of natural justice - ITAT has noted in the impugned order that the AO has simply reproduced the appraisal report and has not undertaken any analysis of the seized materials. Even the hard disk with the working copy was not seen by the AO. The seized material had neither been opened nor examined. The expert report also failed to point out that the software was “hardware specific”. HELD THAT:- In the impugned order the ITAT has concluded that the CIT(A) was right in holding that the additions made in the all three AYs was “in total violation of the principles of natural justice” and that the additions have been made clearly on estimate basis. With there being concurrent findings on fact by the both the CIT(A) and ITAT and there being clear violations of the legal requirements by the AO, this Court is unable to find any error committed by the CIT (A) or the ITAT in disagreeing with the AO and setting aside the assessment order. No substantial question of law arises.
