174 DTR 86High Court2019#4461 most cited
What is Pr. CIT v. Smt. Shreelekha Damani authority for?
A discrepancy in the date of passing an assessment order, if a typographical error, does not necessarily invalidate the assessment's procedural validity, provided the prior approval under Section 153D was obtained. The discrepancy may be viewed as a clerical error, but the department should furnish supporting evidence to clarify the sequence of events.
