What is CIT v. Goyal Private Family Specific Trust authority for?
A brief or cryptic assessment order passed by the Income-tax Officer, without a finding that an erroneous conclusion was reached, is not sufficient ground for the Commissioner to invoke revisional jurisdiction under Section 263. The mere brevity of an order does not automatically render it erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue.
