Reassessment based only on information from the Investigation Wing and a third-party statement was found unsustainable where the Assessing Officer had no independent tangible material to form his own belief of escapement. The Tribunal held that mere reliance on borrowed satisfaction and post facto notices to alleged suppliers did not justify reopening under sections 147 and 148.
