Accordingly it was pleaded that the order of the ld AO cannot be termed as erroneous warranting revision u/s 263 of the Act. 7. With regard to the show cause notices issued for the Asst Years 2008-09, 2010-11 & 2011-12, they were issued only on the aspect of additional depreciation on plant and machinery and rate of depreciation on lorries, which does not emanate from any of the seized documents found during the course of search. Hence it was pleaded that the order passed by the ld AO could not be termed as erroneous warranting revision u/s 263 of the Act. With regard to the show cause notice issued for the Asst Year 2009-10 on the issue of understatement of sales , apart from the aforesaid two common issues, the ld CIT placed reliance on the seized documents marked as SHLA-4 from pages 2 to 105 and SPG-2 from pages 18 to 20 as the incriminating documents found during the course of search.

....2011-12 deserve to be quashed. Accordingly, the preliminary ground raised by the assessee on the issue of assumption of jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act for the Asst Years 2008-09 to 2011-12 are allowed. ITA No. 952/Kol/2017 - Asst Year 2013-14 - Assessee Appeal 10. The first preliminary issue to be decided in this appeal is as to whether the ld CIT had validly invoked his revisionary jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act in the facts and circumstances of the case. 10.1. The brief facts of this issue is that the assessee is a private limited company belonging to 'Shalimar Group' deriving income from manufacture and selling of poultry feeds. A search u/s 132 of the Act was carried out in the business premises of the assessee at 17B & C, Everest House, 46C, Chowringhee Road, Kolkata - 700071 on 13.12.2012. The search took place during the year under appeal.

....Act. 10.3. The ld CIT however ignored all the explanations and submissions made before him and observed that the ld AO having held in the assessment proceedings that the assessee is not engaged in manufacturing activity ought to have correspondingly withdrawn the claim of additional depreciation u/s 32(1)(iia) of the Act . Hence nonwithdrawal of the same constitutes an error in the order of the ld AO which also caused prejudice to the interest of the revenue. Accordingly he directed the ld AO to pass afresh assessment order in this regard. Aggrieved, the assessee is in appeal before us on the following grounds:- 1. That the Ld. PCIT erred in holding that the order of the AO is erroneous as well as prejudicial to the interest of the revenue on the issue of claim of additional depreciation on Plant & Machinery u/s 32(1)(iia). The Ld. AO has conducted proper enquiry in that respect during the course of assessment proceedings. As such, exercising of the jurisdiction u/s 263 of the I.T. Act is bad in law, and the order passed u/s 263 needs to be quashed. Hence, the addition needs to be deleted. 2. That the Ld. PCIT was wrong in disallowing additional depreciation of Rs. 1,64,48,64....
