Assessment under section 153C was held time-barred because, in a joint warrant situation, limitation under section 153B had to be computed with reference to the last panchanama in the assessee's own case; the later panchanama of another person could not extend time, and the assessments were quashed. Jurisdiction under section 153C also failed because the satisfaction note was generic and did not record year-wise nexus between seized material and alleged undisclosed income, making the assumption of jurisdiction invalid. The addition for alleged commission income was deleted because it rested only on uncorroborated third-party statements, with no independent incriminating material and no cross-examination opportunity.
