The Assessing Officer rejected the objections raised by the petitioner, citing new tangible material from assessment proceedings of the subsequent year as the basis for reopening. The Tribunal's decision in a related case emphasized the necessity of demonstrating arrangements leading to extraordinary profits for such reassessment to be valid.The Tribunal's decision in the related case impacted the basis for reopening the assessment, leading the petitioner to seek the quashing of proceedings and setting aside the order rejecting objections. Drawing parallels with a similar case, the court highlighted the importance of specific allegations for reopening assessments and the need for a valid basis beyond mere observations from other years' proceedings.Considering the time for the Revenue to file an appeal against the Tribunal's decision, the court directed the closure of reassessment proceedings for the present but allowed for revival if circumstances change. This approach aimed to protect both parties' interests and maintain the possibility of revisiting the matter based on future developments, as seen in a previous case involving the National Agricultural Co-operative Marketing Federation of India Ltd.In conclusion, the court disposed of the writ petition with the provision for revival if necessary, emphasizing the need to protect the Revenue's rights while acknowledging the evolving nature of the legal proceedings based on potential appeal outcomes. The judgment did not express a definitive opinion on the validity of the notice under section 148 at the time of issuance, leaving room for further legal considerations based on future events.
