Reassessment order passed by Assessing Officer without disposing of objections raised by assessee to issuance of notice under section 148 of Income Tax Act, 1961 by a separate order, was not valid and thus, was liable to be quashed.
In case an order is passed without following a prescribed procedure, the entire proceedings would not be vitiated. It would still be possible for authority to proceed further after complying with the particular procedure.
When income which was the foundation on which he based his belief of escapement of income was absent /disappeared then AO’s very usurpation of jurisdiction was on non-existing jurisdictional fact which rendered his usurpation of jurisdiction to reopen the assessment legally untenable and so null in the eyes of law and therefore, the reassessment made by AO without jurisdiction was quashed.
Reassessment made by AO was valid as assessee was unable to explain the source of income from which investments had been made by furnishing her bank statements and AO clearly had reason to believe that income of assessee with reference to these three investments had escaped assessment.
Brahm Datt Vs ACIT (Delhi High Court) CONCLUSION – Re-assessment not tenable in law in as much as the same is barred by limitation.

Reassessment order passed by AO without issuing notice under section 143(2) was invalid as it is mandatory obligation of AO to serve notice by assigning reasons therein with regard to his belief of escaped tax liability before making reassessment of any escaped income.
Order of reassessment passed without disposing off the objection raised by assessee was invalid as assessee was entitled to raise objection against the reason given in reassessment notice and AO was under mandate to dispose of the same by a speaking order before proceeding to reassess the assessee’s income.
Harjeet Singh Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) It can be seen that the Assessing Officer has proceeded on wrong assumption fact. The amount of Rs. 10 lacs is not supported by any cheque number whereas the allegation is that the assessee has received accommodation entry from Sh. Gupta through cheque. In my considered opinion the basis […]
M/s Balaji Health Care Pvt. Ltd.
