Revenue contended that since the AO had failed to examine all factual aspects prima facie indicating lack of genuineness in assessee's long term capital gains, this is a fit case attracting exercise of Section 263 revision jurisdiction.

Making rowing enquiries is not a finding of an error. Assessments cannot be set aside for fresh enquiries unless a specific error is pointed out at not making proper enquiry cannot be equated with no enquiry”. Accordingly, Tribunal while setting aside the order passed u/s 263 of the Act, allowed the appeal of the assessee.—PUSHPA DEVI SONTHALIA vs. Pr.
