Analysis: The appeal challenges the Commissioner of Income Tax's order under section 263, setting aside the assessment order under section 143(3) for the assessment year 2009-10 as erroneous and prejudicial to revenue, directing a de novo assessment. The assessee, engaged in civil contracts, filed the return admitting income of &8377; 15,18,040, later assessed at &8377; 16,83,040.

It noted the Assessing Officer's failure to apply his mind to the raised issues, deeming the assessment erroneous and prejudicial to revenue. The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's order under section 263, directing a fresh assessment.
Conclusion: The Tribunal dismissed the assessee's appeal, affirming the Commissioner's order under section 263 for a de novo assessment due to the Assessing Officer's failure to address raised issues adequately, rendering the initial assessment erroneous and prejudicial to revenue.
