The issue was whether screen-based stock exchange trades can be ignored due to alleged exit providers. The Tribunal ruled that non-response of buyers and weak financials of counterparties do not invalidate genuine exchange-routed transactions.
The Tribunal held that where reassessment is based solely on search material found during a third-party search, proceedings must be initiated under section 153C. Reopening under section 147 was held to be without jurisdiction and quashed.
The Tribunal quashed reassessment proceedings after finding that the Assessing Officer already possessed complete information before issuing notice under section 148.
The issue was whether commercial usage converts agricultural or residential Lal Dora land into commercial property for stamp duty valuation. The Tribunal ruled that unless revenue records are amended, the original land classification prevails.
The Tribunal held that reassessment notices issued by the Jurisdictional AO after the faceless regime came into force are invalid. The key takeaway is that only faceless authorities can initiate reassessment post-29 March 2022.
The Tribunal held that additions in a search assessment cannot survive without incriminating material. Mere repetition of an annulled earlier assessment was found legally unsustainable.

The issue was whether reassessment could survive when objections to reopening were ignored. The Tribunal ruled that non-disposal of objections violates mandatory procedure and renders the reassessment void ab initio.
