Salil Gulati Vs ACIT (Supreme Court of India)
Hon’ble Supreme Court today in SLP No. 7466/2023 in Salil Gulati v. Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax has dismissed the SLP. The SLP had challenged the fresh reassessment notices for AY 2014-15 under 148A(b) issued after the Hon’ble SC judgment in Ashish Aggarwal case, on the ground that the said judgement never allowed the notices to travel back in time and the defence available under proviso to Section 149(1)(b) is still available to assessee. After the dismissal of this SLP, the two recent judgments of same issue i.e. Allahabad HC and Gujarat HC are no longer good law.

Having heard Shri Percy Pardiwala, learned Senior Advocate, appearing on behalf of the petitioner and having gone through the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court, no interference of this Court is called for.
