..... from short term capital gain and income from other sources of ₹ 79,990/- in assessment year 2002-03. Information has been received from DIT(System) through a CD where the names of beneficiaries who got adjustment entries have been mentioned. The name of the assessee with details (matching as those filed the return) have been correlated. The assessee had received adjustment entry of ₹ 2,00,300/-. On a perusal of case records of the assessee, it is seen that the assesee failed to disclose the material facts in this connection in the return of income filed by him as mentioned above. I have, therefore, reason to believe that the income of the assessee to the tune of ₹ 2,00,300/- has escaped assessment as per provi .....

In view of above, I am of the considered view that the aforesaid issue in dispute is exactly the similar and identical to the issue involved in the present appeal and is squarely covered by the aforesaid decision of the Hon ble High Court of Delhi in the case of G G Pharma (Supra). Hence, respectfully following the above precedent in the case of Pr. CIT-4 vs. G G Pharma India Ltd. (Supra) I decide the legal issue in dispute in favor of the Assessee and against the Revenue and accordingly quash the reassessment proceedings and allow the legal issue. Since I have already quashed the reassessm .....
