Whether, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law and facts, in
cancelling the penalty levied u/s. 271 (1) ( c) of the Act ?

assessment wherein, in no uncertain terms, it has been held that the
assessee had not furnished correct and complete information ?
)
Whether, the Appellate Tribunal is right in law and on facts, in
cancelling the penalty levied u/s. 271 (1) (c ) of the Act when it
had not concealed the particulars of its income and that it had not
furnished inaccurate particulars of income ?
Mr.M.R.Bhatt,
the learned Senior Standing Counsel for the appellant has been
heard.As can be seen from the impugned order of Tribunal dated 24th
September, 2004, it has found after appreciating the facts and
evidence on record that the revenue has not been able to prove that
there was any concealment of any fact by the assessee ; that the
addition made by the Assessing Officer and partly sustained by the
Tribunal is based upon presumption without there being any evidence
of any sale outside the books. The Tribunal has cancelled the
penalty after recording the aforesaid findings. Nothing has been
brought on record to dislodge these findings of fact.
In
the circumstances, in absence of any substantial question of law,
the appeal is dismissed.
