The Gujarat High Court quashed a reassessment notice issued under Section 148 after finding that a loose paper seized from a third party did not establish any live link with the assessee. The Court held that vague and non-specific material cannot justify reopening of assessment.

It quashed the Section 148 notices and Section 148A(3) orders after finding that the transactions were recorded in audited books and adequately explained.
The Karnataka High Court held that merely filing an income tax return does not amount to retracting a statement recorded under Section 132(4). It upheld the restoration of the Rs.1.5 crore addition after finding the alleged retraction to be belated.
The Karnataka High Court held that the petitioner must receive a real opportunity to respond before an adjudication order is passed. It quashed the GST demand and restored the proceedings for fresh consideration.
