Bharti Infratel Limited Vs DCIT (Delhi High Court) Conclusion: Notice for re-assessment issued under Section 148 against assessee-company was quashed as assessee had made full and true disclosure of material facts; nothing was concealed, withheld and left to be factually discovered in the form of ‘material’ mentioned in detail in accounts and other evidence and […]
Merely because PAN is active, it cannot be presumed that the assessee is alive and notice for reassessment be issued in the name of dead person, more particularly, when the department was made aware about the death of the assessee prior to issuance of the notice.
Since Department had correct address of assessee and sending notice for reassessment at incorrect address drawing a presumption of service of notice was rendered assessment proceedings as invalid.

Saurabh Suryakant Mehta Vs ITO (Bombay High Court) In the present case, the Assessing Officer had examined the material collected by the Sales Tax Department, prima facie suggesting that the assessee had indulged into bogus billing activities without actually carrying out the purchase and sale of the commodity. It is on this basis that the […]
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.
Reopening Of A Completed Assessment Not Allowed On A Issue Which Was Based On Nothing But A Change Of Opinion On The Same Facts And Circumstances Which Were Already In Knowledge Of Income Tax Officer Even During The Original Assessment Proceedings
ssessment made by AO in the name of the legal heir without issuing notice u/ 148 was not valid as the notice under section 148 was required to be issued to a correct person and not to a dead person and the same was not a merely a procedural requirement but was a condition precedent to the impugned notice being valid in law.
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.
