Final assessment order issued under the relevant incometax provisions without incorporating Dispute Resolution Panel directions is invalid because the transfer pricing officer has not passed any order implementing those directions; therefore the assessing officer's final order is null and void.

Prior precedents cited include decisions recognising the requirement to incorporate DRP directions before a valid final assessment is framed.
