Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, [ DELHI BENCHES: “E” NEW DELHI ]
Before: SHRI I. C. SUDHIR & SHRI PRASHANT MAHARISHI
Assessee by : Shri Mukul Gupta, Adv., Department by : Shri Rajesh Kumar, Sr.D.R. Date of Hearing : 31.05.2017 Date of Pronouncement : 31.05.2017 O R D E R PER I. C. SUDHIR, J.M. :
In these appeals the assessee has questioned levy of penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act, upheld by the ld. CIT.
At the outset of hearing, the ld. AR pointed out that the very subject matter of the levy of penalty i.e. the very additions made in the assessment years under consideration against the assessee have already been deleted by the Tribunal in the case of present assessee itself vide order dated 29.09.2016 in to 5457/Del/2010 [assessment years 2003-04 to 2005-06, a copy of which has been made available to the Bench with copy to other side].
In view of above development, we hold that penalty levied under section 271(1)(c) of the Act in question does not survive. The same is accordingly directed to be deleted. The grounds of the appeal questioning the action of the ld. CIT (A) in sustaining the penalty are thus allowed.
In result, appeals are allowed.
The order is pronounced in the Open Court on : 31.05.2017.
