Reopening Assessments: Section 147 Validates New Proceedings; Original Orders Become Void. Reliance on Prior Findings Inappropriate.

Case Laws Income Tax HC
Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - addition u/s 68 - The law regarding reopening of assessment is well-settled. The reliance placed upon the findings of the earlier assessment proceedings is misplaced. If the assumption of jurisdiction is held to be valid, the Appellant cannot place undue credence on the earlier assessment proceedings. Once an assessment is reopened, the initial order for assessment ceases to be operative and the proceedings start afresh. - HC
