Question 2

What are the facts of Shri Subhashappa V. Mukta and Shri Ganesh Subhashappa Mukta v. The Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle-2, Aurangabad?

Accepted Answer

The case involves seven appeals by Shri Subhashappa V. Mukta and Shri Ganesh Subhashappa Mukta against orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Pune-12. The appeals challenge the validity of section 153D approval for assessments framed under section 153A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessees argue that the approval granted was conditional and not standalone, making the assessments null and void. The Revenue could not rebut this fact. The tribunal relied on several precedents to conclude that the conditional approval was not sustainable in law, leading to the quashing of the impugned assessments.
