The ITAT Ahmedabad held that a best judgment assessment u/s 144 without issuing notice u/s 143(2) is invalid if the assessee has filed a return and responded to AO's notice. Courts emphasize Section 144 is for non-compliance cases. Assessee provided details of cash deposits, supported by affidavits from relatives. Deposits were found to be from maturity proceeds, not unexplained money u/s 69A. Addition in brother's hands linked to joint account. CIT(A) erred in upholding half of assessment u/s 69A. Affidavits, if credible, can explain cash source. Lack of concrete reasons to reject explanations. Entire u/s 69A addition deleted, penalty proceedings u/s 271AAC(1) & 271F dropped. Assessee's appeal allowed.
