In the instant case, the order of the Tribunal was received in October/November 2011 as the AO has passed an order disposing off the objections on 03.11.2011. Therefore, no assessment order can be passed now. The learned Counsel for the assessee further contended that assessee has been issued a notice under section 148 of the Act on 21.11.2013 which is also time barred as assessment year involved is 2001, 2002 and 2003. 5.
