Reassessment initiation against a deceased assessee is jurisdictionally defective where the show-cause notice is issued after death. Service of a show-cause notice is a condition precedent to an order under Section 148A(3) and a reassessment notice under Section 148; a notice issued to a dead person is non-est and cannot be cured through later proceedings against the legal representative. Section 159 requires reassessment proceedings concerning a deceased person's income to be instituted against the legal representative and does not validate proceedings begun against the deceased, particularly where the Department knew of the death. Participation after a jurisdictional objection does not confer jurisdiction. Consequential proceedings may be quashed, without barring fresh lawful proceedings within limitation.
