.... for scrutiny but abated due to search and seizure action. Ld. CIT(A) also noted that no assessment was made under section 143(3)of the Act prior to the date of search except processing of return of income filed u/s 139(1) of the Act. The ld CIT(A) observed that it was stated in the assessment order that the pending assessment was abated due to search and seizure action u/s 132(1) of the Act and thus the scope of assessment expands to the original jurisdiction as well as jurisdiction conferred u/s 153A of the Act. The AO may conclude the assessment based on the findings of the search and also on the basis of any material existing or brought on record of the AO during the assessment proceedings and finally dismissed the appeal. 7.

.... the findings of ld CIT(A) that the AO has powers which are co-extensive with the powers in the normal scrutiny proceedings even in the case of assessment which were final on the date of search is wrong and can not be sustained. Therefore, in our opinion, the addition in this case is wrong and cannot be justified. In the case of CIT vs. Gurinder Singh Bawa (supra) the Hon'ble Bombay High Court held that once an assessment was not pending but had attained finality for a particular year it could not be subject to proceedings under section 153A of the Act, if no incriminating materials were gathered in the course of search or during the proceedings under section 153A which were contrary to and were not disclosed during the regular assessment p....

D.R., on the other hand, relied on the authorities below. 15. We have heard the rival submissions of both the parties and perused....
