The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) was not justified in dismissing the appeal for non-payment of advance tax, as the addition itself was disputed. The matter was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the appellant was not eligible for the concessional tax rate of 25%.

The Tribunal confirmed the CIT(A)'s order, quashing the reassessment proceedings. It followed the Rajasthan High Court's decision that when incriminating material belonging to a third party is seized during a search, proceedings under Section 153C should be resorted to, not Section 148.
