The Revenue alleged that the respondent had willfully defaulted in filing a return pursuant to the notices issued under s. 153A of the Act and thus, committed the offence punishable under s. 276CC of the Act. The respondent had already indicated his difficulty in doing so in view of the family disputes and had requested for inspection and copies of all documents seized during the raid. In the given circumstances, the Appellate Court had concluded that the respondent’s failure to file the return at the material time could not be considered as willful. This Court finds no fault with the Trial Court’s view. Undeniably, it is a plausible one and, therefore, warrants no interference by this Court.
