- (1.) The subject matter of challenge in this appeal preferred by the Revenue is a judgement and order dated 13th April, 2011 by which the learned Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal setting aside the order dated 1st March, 2010 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax in exercise of power under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act').
(2.) It is a fact that the assessment under Section 143(3) of the Act for the assessment year 2006-07 was completed on 28th March, 2008 without any discussion whatsoever.
