The Tribunal set aside ex-parte assessments and appellate orders because the assessee was incarcerated during proceedings. All cases were remanded to the AO for de-novo assessment with directions to grant fair hearing. Takeaway: incarceration does not exempt authorities from observing natural justice.
The Tribunal held that a 143(1)(a) adjustment denying ₹5.05 crore TDS credit was invalid because no mandatory show-cause intimation was issued. It ruled that a 139(9) defect notice cannot substitute the statutory opportunity required under 143(1), resulting in deletion of the entire ₹5.73 crore demand.

Since the CIT(E) had already accepted the assessed income by issuing Form 4 under the DTVSV Scheme, initiating revision later was held impermissible. Key takeaway: once settled under DTVSV, the assessment cannot be reopened through Section 263.
The appeal filed by the Revenue for AY 2019-20 was dismissed as the assessee submitted all relevant documents to the AO. Written submissions and VAT summaries are not additional evidence.
ITAT Jaipur held that Urban Improvement Trust is a “State” within the meaning of Article 289(1) of the Constitution of India being an instrumentality of State within the meaning thereof. Hence, income is not chargeable to tax under the Income Tax Act.
ITAT Delhi held that the PCIT’s sanction under section 151 was granted before the AO recorded reasons to reopen the assessment, violating mandatory procedural requirements. As the jurisdictional defect went to the root, the section 148 notice and entire section 147 reassessment were declared void ab initio.
