Transfer of case u/s 127 - show cause notice issued is under Section 127 (1) when all applicable provisions are under Section 127 (2) (a) of the Act. Even in the order impugned, respondent no.1 states that the assessee was provided opportunity under Section 127 (1) but he exercised his powers under Sub Section 2 of Section 127 - that also shows non application of mind by respondent no.1. Respondent no.1 also should have dealt with all the points raised by petitioner in his reply, which he has failed to do. Moreover, the show cause notice has been issued by one Income Tax Officer (HQ), International Taxation – 3 and not by the Commissioner of Income Tax, who was exercising his power. On that ground also the show cause notice itself is defective. - HC
