Tax audit u/s 44ab(a)

My question is if any assessee's turnover does not exceed Rs.1 crore in the present previous year but exceeded Rs. 1 crore in the preceeding previous year when he had got his Tax Audit done u/s 44 AB(a), does the assessee need to get his Tax Audit done during this previous year?

Because Section 44AB reads as under: 

"Audit of accounts of certain persons carrying on business or profession”. 
Every person, -- 
(a) carrying on business shall, if his total sales, turnover or gross 
receipts, as the case may be, in business exceed or exceeds 
one crore rupees* in any previous year

What is the implication of "any previous year"?

Does it mean that if the turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore during any previous year during the life of business then Tax Audit has to be done throughout the life of the business?
