The writ petitioner has instituted these two petitions assailing the reassessment action commonly initiated for Assessment Year [AY] 2016-17. The reasons which appear to underlie the preferment of two separate writ petitions would appear to be the allegations in the reopening notice being against Top Most Investment Pvt. Ltd. [Top Most Investment] and YK Securities Pvt. Ltd. [YK Securities], both of which entities ultimately merged with Glider Investment Pvt. Ltd. [Glider Investment] and whose name now stands changed to Kunte and Drabu Consultants Pvt. Ltd [Kunte & Drabu]., the writ petitioner before us. 2. Although the original notice under Section 148 .....

It is these allegations which are set out in paragraph 3 (ii) of the Section 148A(b) notice. 6. Responding to the same, the petitioner appears to have asserted that the allegations as levelled were wholly vague and unfounded since although the income which is stated to have escaped assessment had been quantified at INR 37,53,91,921/-, the total credit which had been shown in the accounts of Top Most Investment and YK Securities were as per the case of respondents themselves placed at INR 7,57,40,838/- and INR 7,42,38,425/- respectively. 7.

In view of the facts and information available with this office as discussed above, it is established that the assessee has no satisfactory explanation with supporting documents for issue discussed above. In the light of the facts discussed in foregoing paragraphs, it is apparent that the assessee has no satisfactory explanation for these transactions to the tune of Rs. 37,53,91,921/-. These deposits in bank account and/or loan and advances are .....

This since the solitary allegation which is levelled is a diversion of funds by Videocon to YK Securities, Top Most Investment and Glider Investment. Even if it were assumed to be correct that the Videocon had diverted funds and credit facilities provided by banks and financial institutions to third party entities, it would have at best and perhaps led to the deletion of any claims towards interest paid that may have been made by that entity. We fail to comprehend how such a diversion of funds could have led to the formation of opinion that income taxable in the hands of Top Most Investment, YK Securities and Glider Investment could have escaped assessm .....
