Issues involved:
1. Challenge to the order setting aside assessment passed by the A.O. after 01.06.2001. 2. Objection to the direction given by Ld. CIT(A) to make an inquiry and deletion of addition by the A.O. Analysis: 1. The Department challenged the order setting aside the assessment passed by the A.O. after 01.06.2001. The Tribunal referred to a similar case and upheld the order of Ld. CIT(A) based on the precedent set by a previous decision. The Tribunal found that the Ld. CIT(A) had not set aside the assessment but had deleted the addition made by the A.O. The Tribunal concluded that the directions given by Ld. CIT(A) were unnecessary and ordered them to be expunged. Consequently, the appeal filed by the Department was dismissed, and the order passed by Ld. CIT(A) was upheld. 2. The assessee objected to the direction given by Ld. CIT(A) to make an inquiry and the deletion of the addition made by the A.O. The Tribunal considered the arguments presented by both parties and found that the Ld. CIT(A) had indeed enabled the A.O. to make inquiries but had not set aside the assessment. The Tribunal agreed with the assessee's contention and partially accepted the Cross objection while dismissing the appeal of the Revenue. The direction given by Ld. CIT(A) was expunged, and the order was pronounced accordingly on 21st Feb., 2014.
