Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the order passed under Section 148A(d) of the Act and the notice issued under Section 148A(b) of the Act are on distinct and separate grounds. In support of his contention, he refers to and relies upon the notice dated 21st May 2022 issued under Section 148A(b) of the Act as well as the order dated 29th July, 2022 passed under Section 148A(d) of the Act, wherein it has been stated as under: A) Notice dated 21st May, 2022 As per information received from ITO Ward 35(1) it is f .....

It seems to this Court that though the Assessing Officer prior to passing the impugned order under Section 148A(d) of the Act realised that he had committed a mistake while issuing the notice under Section 148A(b) of the Act, yet he proceeded with the same and even went to the extent of wrongly stating in the Section 148A( .....

Keeping in view the aforesaid, present writ petition is allowed and the show cause notice issued under Section 148A(b) of the Act as well as the order passed under Section 148A(d) of the Act and the notice issued under Section 148 of the Act for the Assessment Year 2017-18 are set aside. However, if the law permits, the respondents-revenue to take further steps in the matter, they shall be at liberty to do so. Needless to state that if and when such steps are taken and if the petitioner has a grievance, she shall be at liberty to take her remedies in accordance with law. Accordingly, the present writ petition along with pending applications stands disposed of. - - TaxTMI - T ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
