Multiplan India (P) Ltd., [1991] 38 ITD 320 and also on the judgement of the Hon'ble M.P. High Court in the case of Estate of Late Tukhoji Rao Holkar Vs. CWT [1997] 223 ITR 480, the appeal of the assessee is not admitted and is dismissed in limine. 2.4 During the course of hearing, the ld. DR supported the order of the ld. CIT(A). 2.5 The Bench further on merit heard the ld. DR and perused the materials available on record. In this case, it is noticed that the ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal of the assessee holding that the penalty u/s 271E has been rightly imposed by the AO. The Bench in this case noticed that the assessee has not filed written submissions / arguments controverting the order the order of the ld. CIT(A). . Hence, in such a situation, the Bench has no other alternative except to confirm the order of the ld. CIT(A). Thus the above mentioned appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
