Tribunal's findings and conclusions for the earlier years concerning the assessments under section 153A were independent and severable from the exercise undertaken by the AO for the current assessment year 2010-2011 during the course of scrutiny assessment under section 143(3). AO had come to independent findings which were confirmed by CIT(Appeals). The Tribunal had not disturbed these findings.
