Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - The High Court observed that, the expression “accommodation entry” and “bogus financial transaction” in the recorded reasons are not reason for formation of reasonable belief but are conclusions. - The HC further observed that it is also not clear whether the statement of “accommodation entry provider” is recorded U/s 132(4) or Section 133A, inasmuch as, a statement recorded U/s 133A has no evidentiary value. - The High Court quashed the proceedings / notice since the Assessment Order is passed on pure guess work without any relevant material which is contrary to mandates of Section 144 dealing with Best Judgment Assessment.
