Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - failure to file the ITR - while filing a return an assessee is not bound or obliged to disclose any information in relation to any fact other than what is required to be supplied and furnished by him in the various columns of the prescribed form of return of income or which he is bound under the provisions of the Act to furnish even though that fact may otherwise be relevant for the purpose of his assessment. For the simple reason that such information has not been furnished in the return it would not mean that the assessee had failed or omitted to disclose fully and truly all material facts which are necessary for the purpose of his assessment. - HC
