CIT only on those two points in view of 296 ITR 238(P&H), 119 ITR 996 (SC) and 108 ITR 407 (Cal) is not justified. Use of section 263 in place of sec 147 or 154 is not correct.

It was further observed that during the relevant previous year the assessee company derived income mostly from rent of the house property and some allied service receipts like AC Charges, DG set charges, glow sign board income, maintenance charges etc. The Pr.
