Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “H” BENCH, MUMBAI
Before: SHRI R.C. SHARMA, AM & SHRI SANDEEP GOSAIN, JM
PER R.C. SHARMA, AM: This appeal filed by the assessee against the order of the CIT (A) for the Assessment Year 2010-2011, in the matter of penalty u/s 271AAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 2. At the outset, Ld Counsel for the assessee brought our attention to the order of the Tribunal in quantum appeal in assessee’s own case vide order dated 30.9.2016 , wherein quantum addition has been restored back to the file of the AO to re-determine the total income as per the directions given in the said order.
We have carefully gone through the order of the Tribunal in quantum appeal of the assessee in ITA Nos. 243 to 245/M/2013 for the AYs 2006-07, 2010-11 and 2009-10, wherein the Tribunal, after discussing the issue in detail, restored the matter back to the file of the AO to re-determine the total income as per the directions given in paras 3 to 9.2 of its order. Considering the same, we are of the opinion, since the quantum appeal itself has been set aside, the penalty order is also required to be set aside and matter is restored back
to the file of the AO deciding the issue afresh after deciding the quantum appal. We direct accordingly.
In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 01st May, 2017.
