Where additions rested entirely on seized material and statements from the search of a related person, the assessee, as an 'other person', had to be proceeded against under the special search regime in section 153C. The non-obstante clause in section 153C overrides sections 147 and 148, so the Assessing Officer could not bypass that machinery and reopen the assessment on the same search material.
