Petitioner's entitlement to immunity under Section 270AA was the sole issue. The court found the petitioner had filed Form 68 seeking immunity and that s.270AA(3) imposes a mandatory duty on the Assessing Officer to grant immunity once statutory conditions are satisfied; an order declining immunity must disclose which condition(s) were unmet.
