The facts in brief are that the assessee filed the return income on 06.10.2009 declaring an income of ₹ 4,23,76,130/-. The search action u/s. 132(1) of the Act was conducted at the office and residential premises of Bliss GVS Pharmaceutical Group on 16.11.2010.

A.R. further contended that in case of abated assessment the jurisdiction of the AO is same as under the normal assessment proceedings under section 143(3) of the Act whereas in respect of unabated assessment i.e. already completed assessment on the date of search cannot be disturbed except on the basis of information/material incriminating in nature found during the search and seizure. The Ld. A.R. submitted that it is undisputed that no incriminating material/evidences were found during the search. Therefore, no addition could have been m .....

Thus the time period for issue of notice u/s 143(2) of the Act expired on 30.09.2010 meaning thereby that the assessment attained finality on the date of search as the time limit for issue of notice u/s 143(2) has already expired. The Ld. CIT(A) has simply dismissed the ground of the assessee on this legal issue by holding that there was no assessment framed under section 143(3) of the Act prior to the date of search and therefore the AO has the powers which are co-extensive to powers in the normal assessment proceedings under section 143(3) of the Act and thus justified the addition made by the AO.
