Briefly stated the relevant facts of the present case are that on 06th March, 2000, the respondent-assessee's assessment after scrutiny was completed. However, during the course of proceedings under Section 263 of the Act for the assessment ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... was not fulfilled in the present case. 7. In fact, the first proviso to Section 147 which provides extended limitation for reassessment i.e. beyond the period of four years reads as under:- "Provided that where an assessment under sub-section (3) of section 143 or this section has been made for the relevant Assessment Year, no action shall be taken under this section after the expiry of four years from the end of the relevant Assessment Year, unless any income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment for such Assessment Year by reason of failure on the part of the assessee to make a return under section 139 or in response to a notice issued under sub-section (1) of section 142 or section 148 or to disclose fully and truly all material f .....

In the light of the discussion made and facts noted about, it is clear that the A.O. has not made out any case in the reasons recorded for issuing a notice u/s. 148 of the Act that there was a failure on the part of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts with regard to the claim of partners training expenses made in the return of income.
