of <h1>Tribunal Upholds Decision to Annul Reassessment Order, Emphasizes Legal Procedures</h1> The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A) decision to annul the reassessment and order under s. 154 due to lack of jurisdiction following the Tribunal's cancellation ... - Issues:Appeal against CIT(A) order cancelling reassessment and order under s. 154 - Jurisdiction of AO to proceed with assessment after Tribunal's order under s. 263 - Legality of reassessment and order under s. 154 - Purpose and validity of subsequent assessment.Analysis:The appeals by the Revenue were directed against the CIT(A) order cancelling reassessment and order under s. 154 for asst. yr. 1992-93. The main ground of appeal was the erred annulment of the order under s. 143(3) by the CIT(A) due to the Tribunal's cancellation of the order under s. 263 in a previous case. The assessment was originally completed under s. 143(3) but was cancelled by the CIT under s. 263, which was later reversed by the Tribunal. Despite the Tribunal's order, the AO proceeded with reassessment under s. 263 and rectified it under s. 154. The CIT(A) annulled both orders, leading to the Revenue's appeal.The Tribunal found that the AO had no jurisdiction to proceed with a second assessment based on a non-existing order under s. 263 after the Tribunal's cancellation. The AO's actions were deemed without jurisdiction and rightly cancelled by the CIT(A). The Tribunal questioned the purpose of the unauthorized reassessment and highlighted the pending reference application before the High Court. The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, emphasizing that the proceedings were subject to the High Court's order, rendering the subsequent assessment unnecessary and wasteful. The appeals were dismissed with costs imposed on the Revenue.In conclusion, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A) decision to annul the reassessment and order under s. 154 due to the lack of jurisdiction and validity following the Tribunal's cancellation of the initial order under s. 263. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to legal procedures and avoiding unnecessary actions, especially in light of pending higher court decisions. The appeals were dismissed, and costs were imposed on the Revenue.
