What is CIT v. Ballarpur Industries Ltd. authority for?

The Commissioner cannot revise an assessment order under Section 263 if the Assessing Officer applied their mind and adopted one of the possible views after an inquiry, as a mere difference of opinion does not make the order erroneous or prejudicial to revenue. However, if the Assessing Officer failed to make proper verification or inquiry, rendering the assessment order erroneous and prejudicial, Section 263 jurisdiction is validly invoked.
