...., the matter is required to be remitted back to the Tribunal to decide the issue on merits after ascertaining the outcome in the appeal filed by the assessee against the order under section 143(3) of the Act. Similarly, in relation to the second issue also, it was submitted that the Tribunal had erred in not appreciating that the entries were self-serving entries purporting to explain the source of cash credit and could not have been treated as explained. That the Tribunal had incorrectly observed that section 68 is not applicable in assessment of block periods as the same directly militates against section 158BB(2) of the Act. 9.
