June 23, 2020 1803 Views 0 comment Print

High Court states that if the Assessing Officer had no jurisdiction to initiate re- assessment proceeding, the mere fact that subsequent orders have been passed would not render the challenge to jurisdiction infructuous. If the very basis for re- opening assessment does not survive, orders on such re-opening would not survive too. Hence, considering the matter in its entirety HC are of the view that the impugned notice under Section 148 of the Act issued by AO cannot be sustained.
