We have already indicated that insofar as the part disallowance as revenue expenditure is concerned, the petitioner has filed an appeal which is pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Insofar as we are concerned, we find that the petitioner had made a full and true disclosure of the material facts and, in any event, there is no allegation in the purported reasons that the petitioner did not make a full and true disclosure of the material facts at the time of the original assessment.

When the petitioner sought the reasons for invocation of the provisions of Section 147 of the said Act, the same was supplied to the petitioner. The relevant portion of the reasons is as under:- 4.
