Download ITAT Judgement: Penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act cannot stand in the eyes of law

The Tribunal had to consider the question that where the Assessing Officer has failed to mention specific charge for initiating penalty proceedings and/or if he has recorded satisfaction for initiating penalty proceedings for non fulfillment of one of the limbs of section 271(1)(c) of the Act and while levying penalty either penalty is levied for the default of both the limbs or there is mention of none of the limbs or there is mention of contrary limb as to what it was initiated for, then whether penalty levied in such cases can be sustained in the eyes of law?
