The learned D.R. submitted that after the assessment was set aside in toto all the issues were open before the Assessing Officer and he was entitled to probe into all aspects while framing reassessment. The learned D.R. submitted that in the course of de novo assessment the Assessing Officer noted that the excise duty amounting to Rs. 81,62,606 collected by the assessee but not deposited in the Govt. A/c. was disallowable under Section 43B of the Act and he accordingly made the impugned addition of Rs. 81,62,606, relying upon the judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Chowringhee Sales Bureau (P.) Ltd. and Sinclair Murray & Co. (P.) Ltd. (supra).
