CIT(A) also noted that the conditions for penalty u/s. 271AAA were not fulfilled. The ITAT upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, as no search operation u/s. 132 was conducted in the assessee's case, rendering section 271AAA inapplicable. The ITAT dismissed the revenue's appeal, affirming the deletion of the penalty.
