For The Appellant : Shri. K. R. Rastogi, C.A. For The Respondent : Shri. Amit Nigam, D.R. ORDER PER SUNIL KUMAR YADAV: This appeal is preferred by the assessee against the order of the ld. CIT(A), inter alia, on the following grounds:- (1) That 148 has been issued which is reproduced as under :- 'A filed return of income on 29.09.2011, declaring total income of ₹ 103220/- in the Status of Firm.

During the course of hearing, the ld. counsel for the assessee has invited our attention that the Assessing Officer has issued a notice for reopening of assessment under section 147 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter called in short the Act ) after forming a belief that the capital gain on sale of fixed assets has escaped assessment, but while completing the assessment, no addition was made under this head.
