That on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, Ld. CIT-A erred in sustaining the order passed by Ld. AO u/s. 147/143(3) without appreciating that approval of higher authority (although not confronted to assessee) is also without requisite application of mind and is given in mechanical manner as evident from above discussion; 1.4.

He submitted that the Assessing Officer on the basis of information obtained from the Investigation Wing has reopened the assessment. Since, the Investigation Wing is a part of the Department and credible information was obtained, therefore, the assessee cannot say that the reassessment proceedings are not in accordance with law. He, accordingly, submitted that the grounds raised by the assessee on this issue should be dismissed.
