Therefore in view foregoing discussion we hold that initiation of reassessment proceedings u/s. 147 of the Act issuance of notice u/s. 148 of the Act and also consequent proceedings and orders including reassessment order dated 05.12.2016 for AY 2009-10 deserve to be quashed and we hold so. Accordingly, grounds no. 1 to 3 of assessee are allowed. 8. The ld. Representatives of both the sides have not placed any submissions on the other grounds of assessee and since in the earlier part of this order we have quashed the entire proceedings and impugned reassessment order therefore other grounds of assessee are not being adjudicated and left open. 9. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed. ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
