However, on the face of it, it appears that the impugned notice is without jurisdiction. However, rather then admitting the petition and staying the notice in the peculiar facts, the Assessing Officer should have a chance to deal with it. In the above view at this stage, we are not disturbing the impugned notice or the order disposing of the objection and only directing the Assessing Officer to consider the petitioner's objections in respect of Section 92CA (2C) of the Act.

The affidavit states that it was a genuine mistake and he tenders an unconditional apology for the same. We accept the same in the present facts. However, the officers of Revenue must be careful and ensure that the orders of this Court are followed in letter and spirit. 4.

In this case the petitioner points out that for the assessment year 2008-09 the regular Assessment under Section 143(3) of the Act was completed on 18th October, 2010. The sanction for the impugned notice is obtained on the transfer pricing adjustment as recorded in the reasons as follows : 4. In view of the above I have reason to believe that issue of ₹ 1,80,00,000/- and transfer pricing adjustment has escaped assessment within the meaning of Section 147 of the Act.

It is made clear that with regard to the other objections contended by the petitioner we are not inclined to entertain this petition. 9. However, in the peculiar facts of this case, we direct a stay of the impugned notice for further period of ten weeks from today.
