Section 153D approval of draft search-assessment orders operates as a safeguard against arbitrary assessment and requires independent application of mind to the material and reasoning for each assessment year. A consolidated approval that does not record examination or movement of files, provide separate year-wise approvals, or state reasons is mechanical and fails the prior-approval requirement.
