Dear Kapil,
Very good question you have asked. The assessee alone responsible for his income, he has signed the IT return in the verification column. eventhough the auditor audited the accounts, the assessee has to verify the whole ITR preparations towards his income, expenditure and others. finally, the auditor certify that "The true and fair auditing has done with the records and accounts submitted by the assessee". Thus the assessee has solely responsible and liable to the tax not the auditor.

The expert has correctly given your reply. In addition to the same I would like to add the following
The client has not brought to evasion in the knowledge of the auditor.
The auditor has limited sources of collecting information whereas the Income tax department has all door open to collect information.
Now a days every transaction is reported in AIR which is not available with the auditor.
Yes I agree with you if the client has given all the information about evasion and even then the auditor has not taken care of it then the action can be taken against the auditor by filing disciplinary case against him before ICAI
