Penalties for alleged violations of cash loan and repayment restrictions were treated as consequential to the quantum assessments in which the underlying findings were recorded. Once the co-ordinate Bench had quashed the assessee's quantum assessments, the foundation for the penalty orders disappeared, and the penalties had no independent existence to survive.
