Since the issue was examined by the AO in the course of scrutiny proceedings and has concluded that there is only one account which was already accounted by assessee, no prejudice is caused to Revenue, at least in assessee’s case. Therefore, Pr.CIT is not correct in exercising jurisdiction on this issue.

The learned Commissioner of Income Tax failed to appropriate the fact that the Assessing Officer has already examined all the issues raised in the proceedings U/s. 263 and hence exemption of jurisdiction U/s. 263 is not justified. 3. The learned Commissioner of Income Tax failed to appreciate the fact the appellant is having only one Bank A/c and assumption of jurisdiction on the issue of deposits in one more Bank A/c is based on assumption and suspicion only and hence learned Commissioner of Income Tax is not justified in holding that th .....

In one slip it was shown as Kalagara Srinivasa Rao, as party one, whereas in other slip, it was shown as Kalagara Rajyalaxmi as party one.

He simply ignored the subsequent notice available on record and therefore, we are of the opinion that the opinion expressed by the Pr.CIT that AO has not examined second bank account is not correct, both on facts and/or on law. Since the issue was examined by the AO in the course of scrutiny proceedings and has concluded that there is only one account which was already accounted by assessee, no prejudice is caused to Revenue, at least in assessee s case. Therefore, Pr.CIT is not correct in exercising jurisdiction on this issue .....
