JUDGMENT The sole question for consideration is the date of starting of limitation for filing revision under sub-section (3) of section 264 of the Income-tax Act (for short "the Act"). The fact is not in dispute that notices R1, R2 and R3 for depositing amount pursuant to assessments were served on the petitioner on January 30, 1992.

Thus, he clearly came to know otherwise of the factum of passing of the assessment order which is made as contemplated to set in motion limitation of one year prescribed under sub-section (3) of section 264 of the Act. The petitioner applied for certified copy highly belatedly after service of the demand notices which were served on January 30, 1992; the petitioner applied in December, 1993, when the period of limitation was already over and again after filing the application in December, 1993, obtained the certified c .....
