Quick Summary

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has ruled that re-opening an assessment based on invalid reasons is unlawful and can be quashed. In this case, the Tribunal found that the re-assessment proceedings were initiated and completed without adhering to the proper procedures, including the issuance of valid notices under the Income Tax Act. Consequently, the assessment orders were deemed void.
