Collateral challenge to the jurisdiction of reassessment proceedings was held maintainable in an appeal against penalty where the penalty was founded on that reassessment. After three years from the end of the relevant assessment year, approval for notice under section 148 had to be obtained from the authority specified in section 151(ii); approval by the PCIT was insufficient.
