The court found that the assessee's filing of separate returns for different sources of income was due to ignorance and not an intention to conceal income or evade tax. The court emphasized that the failure to consider all relevant factual circumstances, such as both returns being filed before the same Income Tax Officer, rendered the Tribunal's decision flawed.
