Gujarat High Court held that issued raised in reopening assessment was already considered during assessment proceedings u/s 143(3) of the Income Tax Act. Accordingly, mere change of opinion by the Assessing Officer cannot be ground for reopening of assessment.
Madras High Court held that section 84 of Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006 provides for the rectification of an error apparent on record and not one which involves discussion, debate or possible multiple opinions.
Held that, non-supply of documents referred in the ‘reason to believe’ notice along with the notice to the assessee deems the reassessment proceeding and any consequential proceedings illegal and is a flagrant violation of the principles of natural justice.

Gujarat High Court held that once the primary onus is discharged by the assessee, it is the assessing officer who will need to make an inquiry under Section 133(6). Addition unsustainable in absence of such inquiry.
