The assessee filed letter dated 29.04.2008 that his return may be considered as having been filed in response to notice u/s 148 of the Act. On 15.07.2008 notices u/s 142 143(2) were .....

The said gift deed has not been disproved by the AO in view of the decision of Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of Mehta Parikh Co. vs. CIT reported in 30 ITR 181 (SC).
