it is well settled that even if an issue is brought to the notice of the Assessing Officer by the audit party, it would not preclude the Assessing Officer from acting on such communication as long as the final opinion to take appropriate action is that of the Assessing Officer and not that of the audit party. Referring to the decision in case of CIT v. P.V.S Beedies (P.) Ltd. [1999] 237 ITR 13, it is equally well settled however that if the Assessing Officer has acted only under compulsion of the audit party and not independently, the action of re-opening would be vitiated.

There is thus no merit in the stand of the assessee that Depont is not a comparable case with Kansai Japan.
