Revision of an assessment for lack of inquiry requires an erroneous and prejudicial order, not merely a different view of matters examined during scrutiny. Where the Assessing Officer made inquiries into depreciation on fixed assets, commission paid to a non-resident, and deductions for employing new workmen, and applied mind to the responses, revision was not sustainable.
