the Court finds that de hors the question whether the material seized, which admittedly pertains to FY 2010-11, can constitute sufficient material to reopen the assessments for the other AYs in question, it is seen that, even for FY 2010-11, the ITAT, after undertaking a detailed analysis, found that what was seized was not incriminating material. The categorical factual findings by the ITAT, which have not been shown by the Revenue to be perverse, are inter alia that the material seized does not show inflation of the profit of the eligible undertakings; or that the eligible undertakings are not carrying out manufacturing activities or that the material transferred to the eligible undertakings is less than the market value and that "none of the material relates to the purchases from sister concerns." All of this is de hors the fact that the material pertains only to FY 2010-11. 13. If, even for FY 2010-11, what was seized did not constitute incriminating material, then the essential jurisdictional fact for justifying the assumption of jurisdiction under Section 153A of the Act did not exist. Learned counsel for the Assessee is therefore right in submitting that, in view of the above factual findings of the ITAT, the further question as to whether the said material was sufficient to reopen the assessments for the other AYs, with which these appeals are concerned, does not really arise.there was no incriminating material seized qua each of the AYs the assessments for which were sought to be reopened. Consequently, the Court perceives no conflict in these decisions that warrants reference of the issue to a larger Bench. For the above reasons, the question framed is answered in the negative i.e. against the Revenue and in favour of the Assessee.
