Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
Assessment u/s 153A - “relevant assessment year” - It is not for me to fathom the wisdom of the parliament.

It implies that contrary to settled wisdom, even brain structure can be changed. But not so when it comes to a provision in a taxing statute that is free of ambiguity. Such a provision cannot be elastically construed. - HC
