M/S Shree Bhagwati Rice Mills, Khanouri vs Ito, Sunam Hq Sangrur on 27 March, 2018
The Revenue Department refuted the claim of the
assessee by submitting that there is bar u/s 124(3) of the Act on
raising objection qua jurisdiction after 30 days of serving the
statutory notices, however the assessee claimed that bar of
16 ITA No.288/Asr/2014 (A.Y.2010-11)
Bhagwati Rice Mills vs. ITO
section 124(3) of the Act is not applicable to the instant case. On
specific query by the Bench qua transfer of the case from ACIT,
Ward-III to ITO, Ward-III(2) u/s. 127 of the Act, the Revenue
Department failed to bring on record the order u/s 127 of the
Act, however, submitted that the case was transferred as per
order dated 27.07.2011 u/s 120 of the Act by the Chief
Commissioner of Income Tax, Amritsar. We realized that though
it is a debatable issue, however at this juncture we are not
inclined to adjudicate the issue because we have already decided
the case on merit and partly allowed the appeal of the assessee
and therefore, for the ends of justice, feel it appropriate not to
dwell into the ground No.3 being legal in nature.
