JUDGMENT 1. The challenge by the Revenue in the present appeal is to an order dated 28th January, 2020 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Cuttack Bench, Cuttack in ITA No.272 and 246/CTK/2017 for the Assessment Year (AY) 2010-11. 2. The question sought to be urged by the Revenue is whether the ITAT was justified in overturning the re-assessment order passed in respect of the Respondent-Assessee for the AY in question following the Judgment of the Supreme Court of India in CIT v. Kelvinator of India Ltd. 320 ITR 561(SC)? 3. Factually, it was determined by the ITAT that the Assessee had furnished all relevant documents in details at the time of original assessment and there was no new tangible material unearthed by the Revenue which would justify the reopening of the assessment. It was further held that merely because the Assessing Officer (AO) may not have applied his mind to the materials produced would not enable him to reopen the assessment merely on the basis of the same material. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the Revenue-Department, the Court is not satisfied that any error has been committed by the ITAT in following the aforementioned judgment of the Supreme Court in CIT v. Kelvinator of India Ltd. (supra) and rejecting the plea of the Revenue. 5. Hence, no substantial question of law arises and consequently, the appeal is dismissed.
