Search and seizure - Assessment under section 153A - No incriminating material found during search -

AO pursuant to search conducted at assessee's prermises framed assessment under section 153A and made disallowance of deduction claimed under section 80-IA(4). Assessee challenged this on the ground of no incriminating material found during search. Held: There was no reference to any incriminating material found as a result of search, in respect of disallowances of deductions claimed under section 80-IA(4). Therefore, in absence of any incriminating material found during search, no additions could be made in the assessment framed under section 143(3) read with section 153A as regular assessment for the year under consideration remained unabated as on date of search.
