The High Court held that the reopening of the assessment based on a subsequent judgment that the transaction in question was amenable to tax was impermissible. Once an assessment has become final, it cannot be reopened on the basis of a subsequent judgment of the Supreme Court.

The reassessment initiated on the basis of a subsequent judgment was rendered a colourable exercise of power and without jurisdiction.
