Mr. Trilok Chand Chaudhary Vs ACIT (ITAT Delhi) Conclusion: AO made assessment under section 153A in case of assessee by using the material found in the course of search at the premise of third party which was not permitted in view of the express provision of the law as proceedings should be initiated u/s 153C […]

Since assessment under section 153C was made only on the basis of incriminating documents such as balance sheet and profit and loss account which were not related to assessment years under appeals, therefore, assessment was invalid as no incriminating material was found during the course of search to proceed against the assessee.
Assessee was not precluded from raising the issue of jurisdiction under section 153C, merely because it did not object to the same during assessment proceedings and participating therein, as the issue was purely a legal issue and could be raised at any time in the course of appellate proceedings.
Initiation of assessment proceedings under section 153C in case of other person, i.e., assessee without issuing proper satisfaction note by AO of the searched person in favour of AO having jurisdiction of such other person, the proceedings initiated u/s 153C was void-ab-initio.
Purnima Komalkant Sharma Vs DCIT (Gujarat High Court) In the given case, the petitioner is an individual and engaged in the business of real estate and transportation and ship breaking. The return of income was accepted without any scrutiny. Thereafter, a search action took place at the premises of the petitioner. Upon conclusion of such proceedings, […]
Where both searched assessees were brothers and were involved in the common business and assessee used to be in-charge of the accounts, there was no necessity of issuing notice under Section 153C separately to assessee in case they lived separately, but in the same building.
Salasar Dwellers Pvt. Ltd. Vs DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) Satisfaction in the case is not recorded by the AO of the searched party, which is a pre-condition for invoking jurisdiction u/s 153C of the Act and hence, the assessment framed u/s 153C read with Section u/s 143(3) of the Act is bad in law and hence, […]
Addition made under section 68 consequent to notice issued under section 153C was deleted because the AO had initiated assessment proceedings under section 153C for the relevant assessment years without pointing out or referring to any seized document belonging to those years and, therefore, there was no prima facierationale or logic behind issuing the said notice.
Where AO of searched person had not recorded the reasons and order sheet of AO of assessee though reasons were typed but remained unsigned, notice issued u/s 153C and the assessment order passed by AO was not valid as AO did not comply with the statutory requirement for issue of notice u/s 153C.
