ORDER :
1. The petitioner has impugned the respondent's Final Assessment Order dated 31.10.2023 [Annexure- C] under Sections 143(3), 144C(3) read with Section 144B of the INCOME TAX ACT , 1961 [for short, 'the IT Act'] for the relevant assessment year 2020-21 impugning the contemporaneous Computation Sheet and Demand Notices as also initiation of the penalty proceedings. The petitioner's case is that upon service of notice of the Draft Assessment Order as contemplated under Section 144C(1) of the IT Act, the petitioner has filed objections as against the proposed variation with the Dispute Resolution Panel [DRP] but by inadvertence, the same is not filed with the Assessing Officer viz., the Faceless Assessment Centre, and because the Assessing Officer is thus not informed about the objections to the proposed variance, the impugned Assessment Order is concluded under Section 144C(3)(a) of the IT Act.
