.... Their Lordships held that the expression 'any' would mean even a rectified order. What had happened in that case was that the original assessment order was passed on 21st September, 1979; the assessee applied for rectification on the ground that shift allowance was not given to him; his prayer was allowed and the order dated 21st September, 1979 was rectified on 12th July, 1982.

The order was accordingly quashed. In doing so the CIT(A) failed to consider the decision of the Supreme Court in Hind Wire & Industries Ltd. (Supra)" He laid stress on the fact that the CIT(A) observed that the mistake continued in the order under Section 143(3)/251 dated 27th December, 1999.
