Reopening of assessment u/s 147 against deceased assessee - the notice issued u/s 148 in the name of the deceased assessee is a nullity in the eyes of law. Further, no notice u/s 148 has been issued in the name of the legal heirs and therefore, the provisions of section 159 cannot be invoked in the instant case.
