Where assessee did not comply with notice under section 142(1) but assessment order was passed under section 143(3) and not under section 144, that meant that subsequent compliance of assessment proceedings was considered as good compliance and defaults committed earlier were ignored by AO and, therefore, levy of penalty under section 271(1)(b) was not justified.
