The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal held that the assessment order u/s 153A for the assessment year 2008-09 was invalid as it was beyond the period of limitation of ten years from the end of the relevant assessment year in which the search was conducted. The Tribunal observed that no incriminating material was found during the search, and initiating proceedings barred by law cannot be allowed.
