..... ing the course of search, the A.O. could not have considered any other issue relating to the regular assessment during the assessment proceedings under section 143(3) read with section 153A of the I.T. Act. In support of this contention, he placed reliance upon the judgment of the Hon ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Continental Warehousing Corporation (Nhava Sheva) Ltd., reported in 374 ITR 645 (Bom.)

..... he relevant F.Ys and therefore, receipt cannot become the income of the assessee for the relevant A.Ys. Be that as it may, the Ld. CIT under section 263 of the Act cannot direct the A.O. to do what the A.O. cannot do during the course of assessment under section 143(3) read with section 153A of the I.T. Act. It has been laid down by the Hon ble Supreme Court as well as various High Courts in a catena of cases, that in the cases of completed assessments, assessments under section 143(3) read with section 153A have to restrict to the material found and seized during the course of search and cannot consider the material disclosed by the assessee in its return of income.
