ACIT [36 TAXMANN.COM 523] to hold that the assessment or re-assessment made in pursuance to Section 153A of the IT Act, is not a de novo assessment and therefore, it was not open to the Appellant to claim and be allowed deduction or allowance of expenditure which it had not claimed in the original assessment proceedings which in the case of the Appellant stood completed.
Hon'ble Karnataka High Court upheld the decision of ITAT, Bangalore and dismissed the appeal.
