It is submitted that the acts and deeds of the trust, resolutions passed and the orders passed by the state government/District collector clearly show that it was just not possible for the trust to spend the amount of Rs. 1,35,70,420/- accumulated. It is submitted that in view of this, the trust should be allowed to spend the money, as per the resolution, as and when the orders, which are challenged in the courts are cancelled and the trust in a position to buy the land and spend the amount as per the resolutions. It is submitted that it be held so now. 3. Without prejudice to the above it is submitted that the trust be allowed to spend the amount accumulated as soon as it is legally possible for it to spend the same. It is submitted that direction be given accordingly. Alternatively, the trust be allowed to spend the money for other objects of the rust notwithstanding the resolution passed and the trust be allowed to do variation .....

The ld.counsel for the assessee submitted that the provisions of section 11(3A) would become operative only when the person who was in receipt of income and who had invested the same as per the provisions of section 11(5) could not apply the same for the purpose for which it was accumulated or set apart, required permission to apply such income for such other charitable or religious purpose in India. Section 11(3A) starts with the non-obstante clause restricted to the provisions of section 11(3). The period referred to in clause (c) of section 11(3) refers to the period referred to in clause(a) of section 11(2). The proviso below section 11(2) carves out an exception with respect to the period that needs to be computed as per the provisions of section 11(2)(a) and due t .....

The facts as brought out in A.Y. 2010-11 and as mentioned above are applicable to the case of the assessee for A.Y. 2009-10 and the point pertinent to note that the AR agreed vide order sheet entry dated 26.12.2012 that he does not have any objection about the addition made on the same ground during assessment proceeding for A.Y. 2010-11. Accordingly I have reason to believe that the assessee has failed to disclose truly and fairly all the facts relevant to its assessment for A.Y. 2009-10. Thus, I have, therefore reason to believe that income exceeding Rs.One lacs chargeable to tax has been escaped the assessment for 2009-10 within the meaning of Section 147 of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, it is a fit case to issue notice u/s.148 for A.Y. 2009-10." 4.1. The AO in the assessment order followed the order of the ld.CIT .....

The ld.CIT(A) did not accept the explanation of the assessee on the ground that there was no prohibition or restraining order by the Court that the Receiver would not comply with the provisions of the Act. So far as the assessee-trust is concerned, its affairs were taken over by the Court appointed Receiver, therefore it cannot be inferred that the assessee-trust was in anyway responsible for not making an application for accumulation of income u/s.11(1) of the Act. The contention of the assessee is that the delay in making application by the assessee-trust was due to sufficient cause and the authorities below ought to have condoned the delay and excluded the period during which the affairs of the trust was taken over by the Court Receiver trust. However, no such situation is contemplated under the Act where the affairs of the trust are taken over by the Court appointed Receiver and compliance of the provision by the Receiver. Sub-section(3A) of section 11 contemplates a situation where due to circumstances beyond the control of the person in receipt of the income, any income invested or deposited in accordance with the provisions of clause(b) of sub-sectio .....
