In view of the law laid down by the apex Court in GKN Driveshafts (India) Ltd. vs. ITO (2003) 179 CTR (SC) 11 : (2003) 259 ITR 19 (SC), the petitioner is required to file its objections before the AO who will decide the same by passing a speaking order before proceeding further with the assessment.
