Reopening under reassessment must stand or fall on the recorded reasons; where the basis was an alleged reduction in closing work in progress, the Court held that this did not disclose escapement of income because a lower closing work in progress would reduce profit rather than create taxable income.

The consistent method of valuing closing work in progress had also not been unsettled earlier. The notice and the order rejecting objections were quashed.
