by availing abatement, whereas it was not admissible to them - Mistake of ap-

take on part of appellant - Declaration denied to be a false declaration - Since
documents are on record to appreciate the threshold limit as well as the enti-
tlement of abatement as impressed upon by appellant, matter remanded back
for de novo adjudication of entire demand, interest and penalty. [paras 11, 12]
