Even if the contention of the assessee is accepted, it is found that the assessee has not offered the said STCG amounting to Rs. 2,69,603/- for taxation, as the assessee has failed to furnish any supporting documentary evidences to substantiate the claim of chapter VIA deduction. The assessee is a non-filer of income tax and also failed to furnish the source of investment of Rs. 14,47,767/-in shares with supporting documentary evidences as claimed by the assessee. The assessee has claimed that she has not hold the shares for 12 months but sold the shares within 3-4 days thus the allegation of taking accommodation entry by trading in the shares of above scripts is .....

Therefore, if these two items are already included in the reassessment order dated 22nd May 2023, certainly, they could not form part of fresh order of Section 148A(d) of the Act. This is the submission that Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta made without prejudice to his first submission that the second reassessment proceedings could not have been initiated when the first reopening assessment proceedings were pending. Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta submitted that the second reopening notice under Section 148A(d) of the Act was dated 2nd March 2023 whereas the reassessment order based on the first notice of reopening dated 27th May 2022, was passed only on 22nd May 2023.

Such an order has been passed without referring to first two items in the notice that was issued under Section 148A(b) of the Act. 7. In the circumstances, without even going into the issue as to whether an assessment can be reopened when the firs ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
