Levy of penalty for concealment was invalidated because the original assessment addition that triggered penalty proceedings was deleted on appeal and the sustained tax effect arose only from appellate recharacterisation. The Assessing Officer did not record any fresh jurisdictional satisfaction regarding concealment or inaccurate particulars after the appellate outcome, and the penalty order relied mechanically on a consequential givingeffect order.
