A pure legal challenge to a reassessment notice was admitted in cross objection because it went to the root of jurisdiction and had already been raised below. On merits, the ITAT held that a reopening notice issued beyond six years from the end of the relevant assessment year was time-barred. Applying the jurisdictional High Court view, it ruled that the extended reassessment limitation under the amended law operates prospectively and does not revive cases where the old six-year period had already expired. The notice was quashed, the reassessment was invalidated, the assessee's cross objection was allowed, and the Revenue's appeal on merits failed.
