The court set aside the assessment order and directed a fresh assessment in accordance with Section 144C of the Income Tax Act, emphasizing the importance of the directions issued by the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP). The court highlighted the mandatory nature of filing objections before the Assessing Officer and reinstated the authority of the DRP in issuing directions for assessment. The communication declaring the DRP's directions as infructuous was also overturned. The assessing officer was instructed to comply with the DRP's directions, and the case was restored for further proceedings under Section 144C(13).
Issues involved: The petitioner sought quashing of the assessment order, computation sheet, demand notice, and correspondence issued by the respondent. The petitioner also requested direction for the 1st respondent to follow the procedure under Section 144C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Summary: The petitioner, an eligible assessee, filed objections before the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) but failed to provide a copy to the Assessing Officer. Subsequently, the Assessing Officer passed an assessment order, which the petitioner challenged. The DRP issued directions after the assessment order, leading to a dispute over the validity of the directions.
The court acknowledged the lapse in not filing objections before the Assessing Officer but emphasized the importance of DRP directions in the assessment process. The court highlighted the procedural requirements under Section 144C, emphasizing the role of the DRP in issuing directions for the assessment.
The court concluded that the assessment order should be set aside due to the DRP's directions, and the matter should proceed afresh in accordance with Section 144C. The communication declaring the DRP's directions as infructuous was also set aside, emphasizing the authority of the DRP in issuing directions.
The court directed the assessing officer to follow the DRP's directions and clarified that the obligation to file objections before the assessing officer is mandatory, not optional. The petition was disposed of, restoring the matter to the stage of Section 144C(13) for further proceedings by the assessing officer.
