Writ jurisdiction against a reassessment order was declined because the Court found no abject denial of natural justice. A show cause notice under section 148 had been issued, the assessee filed replies raising legal and merits-based objections, the Department satisfactorily explained supply of documents with the notice, and the Assessing Authority considered the reply before finalising the assessment.
