Section 68 Section 147

Where AO made addition under section 69C on account of bogus purchases and assessee sought quashing of assessment on the ground that AO did not confront assessee with material gathered by the Sales Tax Department, matter was remanded back to AO for adjudication afresh as the fact of non-confronting adverse material was simply an irregularity which could not lead to quashing of asseessment.
