Since we have held the assessment itself as invalid, therefore, we do not see any merit in the appeal of the department. Moreover, the tax effect involved in the departmental appeal is less than ₹ 10,00,000/-, therefore, the department ought not to have filed the appeal as per the Circular No. 21 of 2015 dated 10.12.2015 issued by the CBDT. - Decided against revenue - ITA No. 3052/Del/2012, ITA No . 3557/Del/2012 - - - Dated:- 9-2-2016 - Sh.

After considering the submissions of both the parties and the material on record, we are of the view that the assessee has raised purely legal grounds, which do not require any fresh investigation, so these are admitted by keeping in view the ratio laid down by the Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of National Thermal Power Co.

DR although supported the order of the AO but could not controvert the aforesaid contention of the ld. Counsel for the assessee. 9. We have considered the submissions of both the parties and carefully gone through the material available on the record. In the present case, it is an admitted fact that the search u/s 132 of the Act took place on 31.07.2008 and as per provisions contained in Section 153A(1)(b) of the Act, the assessment was to be framed for the six assessment years i.e. the as .....
