The High Court quashed the penalty imposed u/s 270A, holding that the foundation for penalty proceedings was extinguished due to the subsequent rectification order. The initial assessment order failed to grant credit for TDS, prompting the petitioner to file a rectification application u/s 154.

The court ruled that no further action could be taken based on the flawed initial assessment after the rectification order addressed the errors, rendering the penalty proceedings inconsequential.
