Since the disputes between Skyline Builders and the assessee were yet to be resolved, there was a direction to the Assessing Officer to re-do the assessment, without looking into the claims filed against Skyline Builders.

Merely because the assessment order was set aside and remand was made for fresh assessment, the statement filed by the assessee would not stand effaced. The appeals before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) as also that before the Tribunal were not maintainable. Be that as it may, we see that on the remand made there was a reassessment carried out as is available at Annexure R2(c). A reading of Annexure-R2(c) shows that the contract receipts received during the year was ₹ 14,67,187-/ on which the net profit is estimated at 8.1%.
