The Tribunal held that the AO's view was a plausible one, considering the assessee's profession and her father's substantial income. The PCIT failed to provide any evidence to demonstrate that the AO's assessment was erroneous or prejudicial to the revenue.

The pendency of an SLP before the Supreme Court did not alter the current legal position.
The Tribunal held that since the related quantum additions were deleted by a co-ordinate bench, the penalty cannot stand. The deletion of the quantum addition removed the very foundation for the penalty.

The Tribunal heard the parties and perused the records. The assessee's application for withdrawal of the appeal was allowed.

The Tribunal held that the show cause notice was vague and imprecise, failing to specify the exact charge for which the penalty was imposed. Consequently, the penalty proceedings were quashed.

The ITAT held that the CIT(A) had passed an ex-parte order without properly adjudicating the appeals on merits, violating principles of natural justice. Therefore, the appeals were remanded back to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
