The Rajasthan High Court, presided over by Hon'ble Justice Avneesh Jhingan and Hon'ble Justice Shubha Mehta, addressed a petition seeking the quashing of an order and notice issued under Sections 148A(d) and 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The petitioner, represented by Mr. Siddharth Ranka and Mr. Rohan Chatter, argued that the notice for the assessment year 2015-16 was time-barred as the limitation expired on 31.03.2022, yet the notice was issued on 28.07.2022. This argument was supported by the Supreme Court's decision in Union of India & Ors. Vs. Rajeev Bansal, which acknowledged the expiration of the limitation period for the relevant assessment year. The respondents, represented by Mr. Sandeep Pathak and Mr. Palash Gupta, could not distinguish the present case from Rajeev Bansal. The court concluded that the reassessment was time-barred, rendering the impugned notices invalid. Consequently, the writ petition was allowed, and the notices were quashed on the ground of being time-barred.
