This judgment addressed the challenge to a notice issued under Section 153C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for multiple Assessment Years (AYs) ranging from 2010-11 to 2020-21. The reassessment proceedings were triggered by incriminating material discovered during a search and survey action against specific entities and individuals. Despite the petitioner's objections and legal battles regarding the transfer of jurisdiction, the Supreme Court upheld the decision. There were instances of withdrawal and re-issuance of notices, delays in furnishing satisfaction notes, and pending objections for certain AYs. The court directed the disposal of objections, granted a hearing, and set a deadline for filing objections. Additionally, a timeline was established to prevent immediate action against the petitioner and allow for the exploration of legal remedies if necessary. The judgment also acknowledged the expiration of the limitation period for reassessment proceedings and provided a timeframe for passing an assessment order if the proceedings were not dropped within a specified period.
