Penalty under section 271(1)(c) was set aside for fresh adjudication where it was levied solely on the basis of the assessment order, without an independent examination in the penalty proceedings and without proper consideration of the assessee's material; the matter was restored to the Assessing Officer to provide due opportunity and follow natural justice.
