Admittedly, the issuance of notice and initiation of re-assessment proceeding are beyond six years and, prima facie, it is barred by limitation both under the old Act as well as under newly amended provision relating to Section 147 of the Act.
In present case approval has been granted by the ld. JCIT without verifying the reasons recorded by the AO for initiating the proceedings under section 147 of the Act which is contrary to the provisions of law.

Mumbai ITAT has quashed reopening of assessment under section 147 made by AO only on the basis of information received from report of investigation wing.
