Law:

Section:

Section 264 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 [Corresponding to section 33A of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922] - Revision - of other orders - Whether if against a particular order no appeal lies, it cannot be made subject of appeal to Tribunal - Held, yes - Whether where Tribunal itself had held that order of AAC was not appealable, clause (c) of proviso to section 33A(2) of 1922 Act was no bar to entertainability of revision before Commissioner - Held, yes FACTS The petitioner was assessed to income-tax and a demand of interest was also added under section 18A(6) of the 1922 Act.

On writ : HELD Section 33A(2) of the 1922 Act provides for the filing of revision before the Commissioner against any order under the Act passed by an authority subordinate to the Commissioner. The Commissioner is, however, precluded from revising the order if : (a)where an appeal against the order lies to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner or to the Appellate Tribunal but has not been made, the time within which such appeal may be made has not expired, or in the case of an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal, the assessee has not waived his right of appeal, or (b)where an appeal against the order has been made to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, the appeal is pending before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, or (c)the order has been made the subject of an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal.
