..... not let an assessee challenge a reopening notice before us on a ground not taken in the objections made to the Assessing Officer. However, on the face of it, it appears that the impugned notice is without jurisdiction. However, rather then admitting the petition and staying the notice in the peculiar facts, the Assessing Officer should have a chance to deal with it. In the above view at this stage, we are not disturbing the impugned notice or the order disposing of the objection and only directing the Assessing Officer to consider the petitioner's objections in respect of Section 92CA (2C) of the Act.

In this case the petitioner points out that for the assessment year 2008-09 the regular Assessment under Section 143(3) of the Act was completed on 18th October, 2010. The sanction for the impugned notice is obtained on the transfer pricing adjustment as recorded in the reasons as follows : 4.

..... n 92CA (2C) of the Act. 8. It is made clear that in case the petitioner files its objections/representation with regard to Section 92CA (2C) of the Act within one week from today, the Assessing Officer will dispose of the same within a period of four weeks from the date the petitioner file its objections/representation only on the issue of Section 92CA (2C) of the Act. It is made clear that with regard to the other objections contended by the petitioner we are not inclined to entertain this petition. 9.

This would enable the petitioner to challenge the order disposing of the objection in respect of Section 9 .....
