<h1>Reopening under Section 148/147 must relate to original grounds; unrelated income additions are unsustainable and deleted</h1> <h3>Sh. Aman Chaudhary, S/o Late Sh. Asha Ram Versus Income Tax Officer, Ward-1 (1), Noida</h3> The ITAT Delhi held that the reopening under section 148/147 was initiated concerning acquisition of capital assets, but the reassessment added income ... Validity of impugned reopening - AO had set into motion section 148/147 mechanism against the assessee regarding acquisition of capital assets/purchase of immovable property having value of Rs. 1,24,74,000/- whereas his reassessment framed ended up adding the sale in question of Rs. 21,93,500/-, made in the relevant previous year. HEKD THAT:- As per clinching factual position we hereby quote Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd [2011 (6) TMI 4 - DELHI HIGH COURT] and Jet Airways (India) Ltd.[2010 (4) TMI 431 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] to conclude that once the learned assessing authority has not made any addition qua the above sole reason of reopening, the impugned addition in the assessee's hands representing the alleged capital gains is not sustainable in law. Deleted accordingly. Assessee's appeal is allowed. The ITAT Delhi, in the appeal of Sh.
