The Appellate Tribunal considered an assessment u/ss 153A/153C, focusing on additions based on seized documents for the relevant assessment year and unrecorded transactions. The Tribunal noted that the Assessing Officer did not specify in the order that the seized documents pertained to the assessment year in question and that the transactions were not in the books of account. It was emphasized that section 153C can only be applied if incriminating material seized during a search relates to the relevant assessment year. The Tribunal upheld the lower authority's decision as the Revenue failed to challenge the CIT(A)'s findings, resulting in the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.
