The ITAT set aside the penalty order under s.271(1)(c) r.w.s.274 insofar as it was founded on a defective show-cause notice that failed to specify the precise charge-whether concealment of particulars of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars-thereby depriving the assessee of the ability to frame an effective defence.

Consequently the penalty levied was quashed and the appeal allowed in favour of the assessee.
