Again, in the light of the order of the first appellate authority, the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), the tax payable was enhanced on March 10, 2008. By another notice under section 147 of the Act dated March 21, 2008, the assessment came to be reopened. The assessee-appellant filed a return of income afresh in response to the notice under section 147 of the Act declaring the income which was originally returned as Rs. 6,20,79,546.

In that view of the matter, we are of the opinion, so far as the case of the appellant-assessee, the Tribunal ought to have taken into consideration the operative date as June 1, 2003. Then coming to the second question whether the procedure adopted by the Department seeking rectification of the order, it is not in dispute that the Department did not place on record the judgment of a Division Bench of this court in KCPL, though such judgment was in existence by January 15, 2010, and the matter before the Tribunal came to be disposed of in February, 2010.
