Whether the assessment order was amenable to revision under s.263 for failure to examine taxability of gains from sale of land turned on the absence of inquiry into whether the lands were urban land within municipal limits and hence a "capital asset" under s.2(14). The AO's order addressed only cash deposits and contained no verification or reasoning on the land-sale transactions, effectively accepting the return in a summary manner.
