Panacea Biotec Ltd.,New Delhi vs Acit, New Delhi on 27 February, 2026
7.1 On perusing the aforesaid, it is amply clear that the common approval with
common numbers have been accorded under section 153D of the Act in the instant
case is a mechanical approval. We further find that the Coordinate Bench in the
case of the assessee's wife namely Smt. Usha Sharma in ITA No. 480/Del/2015
under similar circumstances has quashed the assessment by allowing the similar
additional ground of appeal. We further find that the Coordinate Bench in the case
of ACIT vs. Sant Lal Aggrawal group in ITA No. 6195/Del/2017, pertaining to same
group, on identical issue has held that approval under section 153D is bad in law
and thus, assessments so made are vitiated in law, under similar circumstances.
