"whenever
the question of taxability of income from new source of income is concerned,
which had not been considered by the Assessing Officer, jurisdiction to deal
with the same in appropriate cases may be dealt with under section 147/148 of
the Act and under section 263. It is unconceivable that in the presence of such
specific provisions a similar power is available to the first appellate
authority".
