Issues: Challenge to order of Income-tax Appellate Tribunal regarding clubbing of income from firms with individual's income.
Analysis: The respondent, an individual and partner in seven firms, challenged an order of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal where the income of the firms was clubbed with the individual's income as the firms were deemed benami for the individual. The Tribunal relied on a letter indicating the firms were assessed at nil income for certain assessment years. The individual argued that the assessment of the firms was pending, and the letter was received after the appeal hearing, not disclosed to them, leading to a mistake in the Tribunal's findings.
The Tribunal, upon realizing the mistake in considering post-hearing information without notifying the individual, recalled its order on the clubbing issue. The Revenue contended that the Tribunal erred in recalling its order based on the same facts. However, the Court found that the Tribunal rectifying the mistake by recalling the order was justified as the information considered post-hearing without notice to the individual vitiated the original order.
Referring to a Bombay High Court decision, the Court emphasized the Tribunal's power to rectify errors, even if it affects the entire order.
