We are not convinced with the case put up by the Revenue for the purpose of opposing this writ application. There is one another good ground to allow this writ application. It is evident on plain reading of the order dated 17th August, 2018, disposing of the objections, that the same is not a speaking order. Not a single objection raised by the Assessee has been even prima facie dealt with. We are convinced that the impugned notice for reopening is not sustainable in law. - R/SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 14840 of 2018 - - - Dated:- 17-3-2021 - HONOURABLE MR.

The reasons assigned for reopening of the assessment are as under; The assessee has filed its return of income for A.Y. 2012-13 on 28.09.2012 declaring income of ₹ 1,50,57,760/-.

Hence, excess deduction was allowed to the assessee, which resulted in under assessment of income to the tune of ₹ 93,74,533/- (5,31,84,533 + 4,38,10,000) 3.
