The learned counsel for the appellant states that the challenge is primarily relatable to the cross-objections in which the appellant has challenged the validity of the proceedings initiated under Section 153A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (“Act”) primarily on the ground that the approval under Section 153D of the Act was taken with regard to seven assessment years together and not separately as is contemplated in law laid down by this Court. 5.

Mr. Vipul Agrawal states that the said aspect cannot be commented upon by him. His only submission is that as the law relatable to the validity of the proceedings initiated under Section 153A of the Act, on the ground the approval sought under Section 153D of the Act is relatable to seven AY’s together and not individually is well settled by the judgment of this Court in Pr.
