The CIT observed that the materials collected by the Department in the course of search made under s. 132 on 16th Feb., 1994 were not properly assessed and utilised by the AO in completing the assessment for the impugned asst. yr. 1993-94. 4. Various documents were seized in the course of search. The materials included loose papers which indicated sale proceeds received by the assessee during the period from 3rd Oct., 1992 to 31st Oct., 1993.
