Though I do not mean that there should not levy of penalty at all u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act, when the burden to prove is a negative fact , more discretion in favour of the assesee needs to be exercised and the decision of the Hon’ble Apex court in Hindusthan Steels requires to be appplied. A very reasonsed order of the Tribunal explaining legal position.
