What is CIT v. Escorts Ltd. authority for?

An order cannot be revised under Section 263 if the Assessing Officer took a plausible view, conducted an inquiry, or consistently allowed similar claims in earlier assessment years, as such an order is not erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the revenue. Revisionary powers cannot be invoked merely because the Commissioner has a different opinion on a plausible view taken by the Assessing Officer.
