It has not been indicated as to what particulars were not disclosed by the assessee. All the relevant accounts and records were available for consideration and the assessing officer had considered the entire material and he gave a detailed assessment order running into five pages. It cannot be inferred from these facts that the petitioner had not made a full and true disclosure of the material particulars necessary for assessment. With regard to the second point we find that the assessing officer has not even indicated the extent of the alleged escapement of income. Furthermore, the assessing officer has once again stated that on “perusal” of the notes to the accounts o .....

The assessment in respect of the petitioner s income was completed under section 143(3) on 15.12.2010. The assessing officer had made certain additions on account of section 40(a)(ia) ( ₹ 1,55,94,534/-), under section 14A (Rs.1,55,603/-) and on account of extra depreciation claimed on computer peripherals (Rs. 6,87,043/-). 3. The impugned notice under section 148 was, as mentioned above, issued on 21.03.2013, beyond four years from the end of the relevant Assessment Year.

To complete the narration of facts, we may point out that the petitioner had filed objections on 22.08.2013 and they were disposed of by the impugned order dated 21.03.2014. 5. From the purported reasons it appears that the assessing officer in the first instance had raised an issue as to whether the interest payments were to be on the revenue account or the capital account.
