On the basis of this information, the AO reopened the assessee's completed assessment and passed order on 18.03.2015 under sections 147/143(3) of the Act. 5. The ld. Counsel for the assessee has placed reliance on 'Sushil Gaur and Shelly Agarwal Vs. ITO', order dated 08.08.2017, passed by the SMC Bench of the Delhi (Trib.) in ITA 1500 & 1501/Del/2017. The ld.
