J U D G M E N T
Heard.
The appeal was admitted to consider the following three substantial questions of law: “1. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Honourable Tribunal was right in law in upholding the levy of penalty under section 271 (1) (c) of Income Tax Act, 1961?
Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Honourable Tribunal was right in law in upholding levy of penalty when the Learned Respondent has
failed to give a clear finding as to whether the Appellant is guilty of concealment of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars of such income?
Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Honourable Tribunal was right in law in upholding levy of penalty when the Learned Respondent has failed to record his satisfaction of concealment or furnishing inaccurate particulars in the assessment order?”
It is submitted that the second and third substantial questions of law are covered by the judgment of this Court in the case of COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX AND ANOTHER vs. MANJUNATH COTTON AND GINNING FACTORY reported in (2013) 359 ITR 565. Hence, following the said judgment, the second and third questions of law are answered in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
In view of holding the second and third substantial questions of law in favour of the assessee, the first substantial question of law would not arise for consideration. The appeal is disposed off accordingly.
