The ITAT held that the assessment completed by the AO under section 144, exercising best judgment due to inadequate compliance by the assessee, cannot be deemed erroneous or prejudicial to the revenue's interest. The AO's discretion under section 144 is absolute and not subject to revision merely because the PCIT disagrees with the profit estimation or considers the enquiry inadequate. The tribunal found the invocation of revision powers under section 263 unjustified as the AO had appropriately exercised statutory authority after considering all relevant material. Consequently, the revision order passed by the PCIT was set aside, and the appeal filed by the assessee was allowed, affirming the validity of the assessment order completed under section 144.
