Tulsiyan argued that the same additions, which was originally made u/s. 143(3) of the Act, cannot be repeated while framing reassessment u/s. 153A of the Act.

CIT(A) observed in para 3 of his order as under: 3. I have carefully considered the fact of the case. There is no merit in the grounds of appeal taken by the appellant.
