K C BUILDERS vs THE ASSTT COMMNR OF INCOME TAX

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal which cancelled penalties under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the assessment years 1983-84 to 1986-87. The Court found that the additions to income were based on a voluntary offer made by the assessee and not on concealment, referencing the principles from Sir Shadilal Sugar and General Mills Ltd. v. C.I.T., Delhi. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, affirming that there was no concealment of income.
