Issues: Whether the reassessment notice and the order passed under section 148A(d) were liable to be set aside and the matter remanded for fresh consideration.
Analysis: The impugned orders were challenged on the ground that the receipts in question did not constitute royalty or fees for technical services and that the earlier reply, including the plea based on the India-US DTAA and the tax residency certificate, had not been properly dealt with. Since the respondents did not oppose a fresh consideration and the record showed that the assessee's contentions required meaningful examination, the existing orders could not be sustained in their present form.
Conclusion: The impugned orders under section 148A(d) and the consequential notices under section 148 were set aside and the matters were remanded for fresh orders after considering the petitioners' replies.
Final Conclusion: The writ petitions were disposed of with liberty to file fresh replies and with a direction for fresh adjudication in accordance with law.
Ratio Decidendi: A reassessment initiation order cannot be sustained where the assessee's material objections have not been duly considered and the matter requires fresh determination in accordance with law.
