S. 263: The CIT can revise an assessment only if he can show unmistakably that the order of the AO is unsustainable. Fact that the AO has passed a non-speaking order does not mean that he has not applied his mind

CIT vs. J. L. Morrison (India) Ltd (Calcutta High Court)
 
(i) If the AO has taken a possible view, it cannot be said that the view taken by him is erroneous nor the order of the AO in that case can be set aside in revision. It has to be shown unmistakably that the order of the AO is unsustainable. Anything short of that would not clothe the CIT with jurisdiction to exercise power u/s 263 of the Act
